Knitting for sex!

Whenever you give up something, you find that that’s when you start to crave it. The analogy a priest used to explain this to me was that of a person fasting. A person can sometimes go a whole day without eating because he or she is preoccupied with other matters. But when that person is fasting, the awareness of the need for food is not only constantly with him or her, but it may even be exaggerated. When a smoker gives up smoking, the craving starts, and hence the withdrawal symptoms. Taking a cue from Meredith Grey I decided to take up knitting to replace sex. Well, not really to replace it but to have something to channel my energy into. Other physical activities like swimming or running work too. Not too sure what it is I’m knitting yet. I’m thinking that as this is Christmas it would be nice if I could knit a sweater for a child. I’m not very fast at knitting though and Christmas is already upon us. Maybe I could work extra hard on the weekends. Fingers crossed!
