While watching an Ohio State football game on TV last fall,
we saw a woman knitting in the stands. We couldn’t tell which team she was
pulling for since we could not see the color of the yarn. But she was really
into it. It was a December game and very cold. Perhaps she knits really fast
and was making scarves or mittens to sell to people sitting around her in the
stands, I thought. Regardless, it got me thinking. Has anyone ever used knitting needles (and shouldn’t
it be knitting kneedles?) as chopsticks? I thought that would be pretty, pretty
impressive if I could pull it off, and pretty intimidating. I’ve now tried it, and it’s taken me a
while, but I’m competent eating with them at this point, having only lost a few
pounds while learning. My plan is to
walk into a PF Chang, slap those big needles down on the table and
shout out “Gimme some rice!” That would
result in prompt service and instant celebrity status.
I’d want a special case for my needles like those guys
have for their own pool cues. And white
gloves maybe.
