9. Charitable organizations that serve the homeless, poor and sick can always use donations of knitted scarves and caps.
8. Guys who knit are so cool!
7. Knitting forces you to sit down and relax for a little while (if you are one of those people who never stops going from dawn to dusk).
6. It just might save your relationship as it is impossible to be a "back-seat driver" if you are knitting in the car!
5. Knitting is good for the brain; studies show that complex tasks, especially new ones, may reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. So tackle a challenging knitting project; it's good for you!

3. It allows you to focus during lectures and meetings. By occupying your hands and eyes, knitting frees up your ears to listen. I once watched a prominent oncologist knitting during hospital rounds; although she rarely looked up, she was fully engaged in the discussion.
2. Knitting is a great way to connect with family, colleagues and friends. Everyone from the very young to the very old can knit. Get to know your great-grandmother!
