You give very good advice, sir.

Last winter, I taught my girlfriend how to knit, and after 10-15 minutes, she could do it well enough to make a pair of garters. She's churning out the most wonderful and creative hats left and right, from her own patterns, after only ten months of practice. Knitting is really one of the best hobbies I can think of- inexpensive, creative, you can turn out a first-rate product, you can do it anywhere, and you can socialize, watch TV, or listen to music while doing it.
