It's 23.50 on a Tuesday night and I'm sitting down watching the most depressing film ever (Million Dollar Baby) while knitting a scarf. Please tell me there is hope for me.

Are you wearing slippers and/or a 'comfy' top? Have you recently frowned at a youth (or somebody you thought looked like a youth)?

Have you not got a beer in the fridge to at least mitigate against these somewhat dire set of circumstances you find yourself in?

The scarf is for a girl I can't sleep with, my fridge is full of beer however I do not drink. No sleepers or comfy top, a little early in my lifetime as I am 26.

Shoot yourself. It's the only respectable thing to do really.

Although, Will you get some because of the scarf? if so, then why are you watching a film? knit faster, man...

Well at least you have a beer in the fridge, even though you aren't planning on drinking it. There's a glimmer of hope for you.

No such thing. Unless it's a female relative. Or maybe a mate's wife.

I'm sure there'll be plenty of knitting vids on youtube to show you how to cast off. Or register on Ravelry.
Can you knit me a blanket for the baby please? ๐Ÿ˜‰

Jebus, get out folks, at 26 I wasn't (and have never been) a womanising drunk but I'd have ended my time on this mortal coil if I'd been reduced to knitting*. What about night riding, join a bike club, start one. Do some work so you're ahead of your 50 year old co-workers who are doing exactly the same as you (maybe with a pint of stout handy).
Imagine in ten years time, when you're my age and you look back and all you did was knit a frikin scarf.

Sorry, amazed at the yoof of today.

*Now I'm certainly past my prime, knitting is something I do actually want to do, but I'll do it on the train...

Learn a musical instrument & join/form a band.

Sex & drugs & rock'n'roll

But how is joining a band ultimately any different to knitting? Both are creative activities. Knitting just doesn't have quite as good PR.

maybe if you didn't knit scarves she might be more inclined to sleep with you?

burn the scarf, stop being dead

Now to defend myself, a few things
I run a choir [1 to 4], sing in another [1 to 3]
swing dance [1 to 1]
play alto saxophone [just me at the minute]
a stitch and bitch group called Purl Jam (those that know are impressed)[1 to 9]
life model [1 to 14]*

*the ratio of males to females ๐Ÿ˜€ .
There is a method to the apparent madness, however I knit because I genuinely enjoy it.

the ratio of males to females

I have a slight suspicion that the women involved in these activities are comfortable with your presence because they do not perceive you in any sexualised way. ๐Ÿ™‚

Maybe if she didn't think you were gay she might be more inclined to sleep with you?
