A bit of humor for my knitting friends

I Knit and Purl
(to the tune of "I Kissed a Girl" by Kate Perry)

I used to mock my mother’s hands.
Her hobby bugged me.
She said her needles stopped time’s sands
And kept her mind free.
She told me her method—
“Why don’t you try it out?”
I did it like she did,
And now I can shout—

I knit and purl and I like it.
I even use a yarn swift.
Knitted and purled just to try it,
And now I don’t want to quit.
Guess I was wrong.
My mom was right.
Finished my blanket tonight.
I knit and purl and I like it.
I like it.

The first step is called “casting on”.
It’s the beginning.
And by the time your yarn is gone
It’s like you’re winning
It’s not just some fool’s game—
It’s very practical.
I made you a sweater.
I’m one domestic gal.

I knit and purl and I like it.
I even use a yarn swift.
Knitted and purled just to try it,
And now I don’t want to quit.
Guess I was wrong.
My mom was right.
Finished my blanket tonight.
I knit and purl and I like it.
I like it.


We knitters learn the garter stitch
And while we’re knitting we can bitch.
I think my fingers have the itch.
Too good to deny it.
And I am glad I tried it.


I knit and purl and I like it.
I even use a yarn swift.
Knitted and purled just to try it,
And now I don’t want to quit.
Guess I was wrong.
My mom was right.

I knit and purl and I like it.
I like it.
