Knit Wit

Peggy's Pages
When I was a young girl, I heard old people say "Don't be such a knit wit." I didn't want to be a knit wit. I'd be anything other than a knit wit. I'd be a "silly goose" before I'd ever become a "knit wit." It took many years before I actually became one--a "knit wit" that is. Evidently it's not so bad. All I had to do was put a piece of yarn around my fingers, jam a long stick in backwards under the yarn, pull it out and ... Cast on 32 stictches, then knit one row, purl one row, knit again, and purl again, and knit again, and purl again, and.............. So does it ever end? Will I ever not be a knit wit? O.K....Knit two then pull the first stitch through the second and off, keep going until all the stitches are off the stick and now I am no longer a knit wit. You silly goose!
