Aha , some days i wish i had more hands

Tuesday i had 4 hours `train knitting` time , but since than i repair,
clean make order , embroider ,,, These are the time i consider nature`
s idea to give us only 2 hands , a bit mistaken..... But than i think
that having more arms would complicate me in making more sleeves ,,,
thus it is ok ,,,,, and in my dreams i still can make more jobs at the
same time..

Have you ever knit in your sleep, not just dreaming, but actually doing
the movements? Don has caught/watched me knit in my sleep many times. Once
I actually did get up, still asleep, and picked up my knitting and not just
did the movements, actually knit while sleeping. (as a child I was a
sleep-walker)

Hugs,

I hope you don't have an upstairs and downstairs: that could prove a bit
dangerous if your knitting was downstairs and your 'sleeping knitter" got
the urge to knit.

This reminds me of a game I read about, long ago, in which people were
given improbable situations to imagine. To the question "what if we
all had three arms?", two of the answers were "Hugging would be more
difficult" and "Hugging would be more fun!"

I have occasionally had the thought that while I can knit while
watching tv, chatting, waiting for things to appear on my computer,
etc., it's too bad I can't knit while knitting! In other words, I'll
be watching tv and working on some simple knitting, like an garter
stitch lap blanket, and suddenly think "Too bad I can't work on the
socks while I'm doing this!"

Jackie ,, you are ever so right .
I visited an exhibition of Thailand culture and amongst the Budha`s
there was one with 24 arms , arranged in 3 layers of 8 ,,,,,, My
imgination went WILD ,,,,,,

You could knit 2 project , crochet one have coffee ,hold a baby
etc,,,, endless multy tasking ,, and of course 2 can always rest
hahahhahahh

I could certainly use a few more, that's for sure. There's a cute
commercial that comes on TV from time to time depicting a mother octupus who
is multi-tasking: vacuuming while dusting while cooking while rocking the
baby and feeding it a bottle, the punch line is that she wishes she had a
few more arms. ;-))
