Government health warning on balls of wool

[exiled]

Just a thought before I do some housework.

Good things about knitting.
1 Creative
2 calming
2 cognitive skills improving
3 Wards off dementia and boredom.

But what about the negatives?

1highly addictive
2cultivates terrible hoarding habits. Look at the average yarn stash
3Boring, to other people. I spent 15 minute explaining to husband over breakfast the finer points of reaching the right guage,different needles yarn etc.
4 Alters your body shape. I have spent so much of the last 4 years knitting that I am sure that is to blame for my slightly collapsed rib cage.

Any more thoughts on this.

Ps despite those things, I am still knitting to the last moment
