All Wound Up (2011)
“My hand goes in, and as it does there is more air in that bag than I expect, and my heart skips a beat. No knitting? I pull up the bag to my lap and open it, trying to understand what is going on. No knitting? I never have no knitting. I don’t leave the house without knitting like other women don’t leave the house without lipstick or a bra—neither of which I am wearing, but that’s not the point. I always have knitting. It’s one of the things I take with me each and every time I leave the house.... Wallet, keys, phone, and a sock-in-progress. Hell, I usually have two kinds of knitting with me if I go to the kitchen, never mind a restaurant. I start pulling out things from my bag. No knitting. I look on the floor. Did I drop it? Maybe it’s still with me? No knitting. That’s it. I have no knitting with me. I pick up the menu and try to focus, but I am instantly and completely uncomfortable. I’m a creature of habit and my habit is more or less continuous knitting, and that’s been true for decades, and now here I am in this restaurant and I don’t have anything to knit and the waitress hasn’t even taken our drink order yet, and this restaurant is good, but slow, and that means it’s going to be a long time with no knitting and… I check my bag again to make sure that I didn’t miss my knitting in there.MoreLess
