To Throw Or To Pick? That's The Question.



I have a confession to make. Deep Breath. I feel awful about this. The picture of me knitting in the last blog entry is fake. I'm holding my yarn in my left hand. And, much my chagrin, I am a Thrower. There I said it. And you say to yourself, who gives a rat's a#$? Throwing or Picking (and I don't mean the nose). They are both acceptable, as long as you're knitting, right? And if I have some sort of Knitter's shame and embarrissment about Throwing, why don't I just Pick? I learned to knit by Throwing the yarn. But I know in my heart that Picking is faster. oh, this is just an insane monologue. If you were to read this paragraph out loud to a friend, what would they say? Anyway, I've tried to Pick, but it feels so wierd, unnatural...I guess because I learned the other way, I don't know. But I wonder, how many people Throw and how many Pick? And does it matter? Do Pickers look down on Throwers? Only one thing is going to make me feel better about this issue. I must go buy some shoes. Many shoes.
