I do not talk to myself.
Yes you do.
No I don’t.
Yes you do.
NO I DO NOT!
Yes you do, you silly cow what do you think you are doing right now? Besides you’ve had some interesting conversations with yourself, remember the one about the mutant sheep?
umm I don’t recall that conversation and I’m not sure I’d want you spreading it around even if I did! Wait… what am I doing? I’m talking to myself /sigh
:waving: Hello Ladies… as you can tell I don’t 
I’m doing a piece now where the right side is just knit and the wrong side is knit 4, yarn in front, slip 1, yarn behind, knit 4 etc… I count the wrong side and then it takes me about 10 stitches on the right side before I realize I don’t have to count it… every single time! :rollseyes:
I talk to myself all the time! That’s why I love having little kids. DH thinks its weird when I volunteer to take them grocery shopping. That way I don’t look like a wack-a-doo walking down the aisles talking to myself.
Oh! I’m glad I’m not the only grocery store talker. My two year old will repeat everything I say which makes it nice because my memory has just been horrible lately. I just have to make sure I don’t say things like tampons or lubricating gel aloud! :shock:
And as far as talking to yourself. My mom worked with a lady who ALWAYS was taling to herself. She said it was perfectly normal to speak to yourself, answer your own questions, and even argue with yourself. However, you might need to see a doctor if you say, “Would you repeat the question?”
My ringbearer had that repeating thing going on about six months ago. He actually liked putting whatever you said to the tune of “Someone’s in the kitchen with Dinah” and would keep singing it over and over until he got distracted by something else. Well, one time I had him and his sisters in the car with one of my friends, and we were driving by a movie theater on our way to do someth9ing else. My friend suggested a movie, but all the movies out were PG or higher rating, and inappropriate. So I told my friend sarcastically, “sure, if I want to expose them to gratuitious sex!”
Chris, the little boy, immediately picked up on this and started singing “tuitous sex, tuitous sex, tuitous sex…” to the song! So I corrected him with the first thing that came to my mind.
“No, Chris, I said ‘tube socks’!” Luckily for me, he picked up on the tube socks right away, and changed the lyrics to his song. :roflhard: :roflhard:
Hildie’s husband yells at his food…
Wish I could link to the pic, I think it was on her old blog…
Too hilarious! :roflhard:
I do, when I am counting stitches, :roflhard: It helps me concentrate better. So, you are not the only one.

I absolutely do!! It drives my dh crazy, I think, for 1: I’m muttering, so he can’t hear me, and 2: he’s jealous of my knitting , I think, and wants me to pay attention the GUNSMOKE episode he is once again watching!! :shock:
Oh yes… I learned how to talk to inanimate objects from my mom and dad! You have to talk to things like spatulas (“get all the way under there, or you’ll just break that pancake when we flip it!” and your knitting (“what was that? Now we have to tink back so we only have 3 knits before the knit 2 together, you bum!”)
With my dad, I’ve found that things like lug nuts will only loosen after they’ve been thoroughly cursed at. For my mom, the vacuum cleaner had to be scolded before it would manuever correctly into those tight spots around furniture.

Too funny Melanie!
I talk out loud, but usually only at home. Let it serve as a warning to those nearby to not speak to me!
Melanie…you are so right!
Most of my technical equipment - printer, computer, radio, phone, whatnot - usually works better the more vulgar the words you apply to them :oops:
:roflhard: :roflhard: :roflhard: :roflhard:
I actually called a ball of yarn that I found a knot in halfway through the skein (from when it was balled by the mill I s’pose) a “dirty b@st@rd” last week. Made my girlfriend do a spit-take 
Oh yeah - I do this all the time 
I talk to myself AND answer myself too! 
I don’t talk out loud, but I do talk inside my head.
I do… I think it’s expected, right? Isn’t that why everyone who sees you knitting walks up and says
“Knit one, purl two!!” like they invented that joke? Surely that comes from some old Marx Bros gag or something to do with little old biddies reciting their knitting patterns aloud.
I talk to myself and the project as well, mostly when counting stitches. Unfortunately, sometimes expletives come out of my mouth when I mess up! :devil:
My husband has complained for 40 years that I’m always talking to myself. But at my age, it’s my perogative and after all, who else do I ask when I need the right answer? :lol:
Hey,
Ya just GOT to sometimes!
I discovered last week that I cannot work the Counterpane pattern when with the knitting group at the LYS. Just too much conversation goin on…and I gotta concentrate big time on that one.
And if someone starts talkin to me while I’m doin it, I do the same thing, start saying the numbers real loud so they’ll get the message & I won’t lose count!
You are NOT alone!
Diane :lol:
