I was whining about the futility of doing housework to an online knitting friend of mine, and this is what she wisely responded....

Knitters are most frustrated with housework because, unlike stitches, things don't stay put. Despite plans and careful situating,  things spill, move and vanish. No one would dare put toast down on one of our WIPs (works in progress), but they toss the same carelessly on our just wiped tables. We love to be able to pick up where we left off, but housework is a wild animal loose in our home, not compliant wool. *sigh*


I think I may have that printed on a plaque....
