Knitting while surfing
Does anyone else knit while reading and posting on this forum? I find it a lot of fun, almost like knitting in a room with friends. I do find myself having to recount stitches sometimes in order to stay in pattern.

I can't surf and knit at the same time, hence the UFO's. How do you do it?

I need my hands for mousing and typing too much to knit.

I hear ya friend(s)...

I think that's the main reason why I have so many things OTN at a time...

Complicated items for "free time", simple garter stitch items for surfing, TV-watching, etc.

Definitely don't watch a foreign language film with subtitles or silent film while knitting! Impossible to keep up with knitting OR the film!

I do that, I even have my onboard TV on the computer on while I knit.

It's great to surf and knit...especially when you are having a problem with something you're working on and someone is in the chat forum that can help and talk you through it!

I'm definitely not a knit and surfer, I'm just not that good yet I guess! I can't read and knit yet either.

Um, yeah....I'm guilty. It has been the reasoning behind a lot of frogging and also the reason why I am so slow to respond to people.....I just let them go on believing that I am a slow typist
