Not judging....:angelic:

But really, do you bring knitting equipment specifically to do at red lights?
No, I just had it (and really, it was just because I was being stupid (and it was new yarn and I really, really, really wanted to see how it looked knitted up.

I would also say this: when dd was in preschool, I had my knitting in the car and sat down in the drivers seat. The metal needle was backed up against the car seat belt (it was a long needle) and as I sat down into the seat, it slid right into my side.

I mean, right into me :eek:. I can't say how far it went in - perhaps a full inch? I just know that I had to pull it out and staunch the bleeding............

So, lesson learned (on that front).

But as for knitting and driving. Bad, bad, bad idea! (judge away, I deserve it). :rolleyes:

What....what.....the fuck. That's scary as hell!
It reminds me of one of those final destination movies where a girl gets in a car accident near a farm and a bunch of pvc piping comes through her car, she's fine until firefighters use the jaws-of-life and engage the air bag which slam her head into the broken pvc pipe.
Scary stuff indeed.

That movie messed me up. I should not have been watching it. I then decided "Oh, I'll desensitize myself to it." And watched it the entire Easter weekend I was at my Dad and StepMom's house. That was not a wise decision.

It honestly didn't hurt (until after I pulled it out :\

But it was pretty surreal. I mean, you could just sort of feel what was happening, but with the momentum not on my side.......I was pretty much about to sit - and there was no way forward - so, well, what was going to happen was going to happen.:whistle2:
