+//Pardon me I didn't knit that for you// - a kraftilicious country song by Kay Gardiner and Ann Shayne from [[http://www.masondixonknitting.com|Mason-Dixon-Knitting]], which plays an ironic twist on the country classic //[[wp>Stand by your Man]]//.

+I've been hiding my yarn in the closet.\\
+Oh, I wish I had fastened the door.\\
+You have found the big sweater I started,\\
+and you're asking me: "Who is it for?"\\
+\\
+Pardon me, I didn't knit that for you.\\
+I have knitted for somebody new.\\
+It's a truth kept inside, I can no longer hide.\\
+Pardon me, I didn't knit that for you.\\
+\\
+Are you asking yourself why I did it?\\
+How I came to do something so cheap?\\
+It's a crime of the heart I committed.\\
+I was knitting while you were asleep.\\
+\\
+Pardon me, I didn't knit that for you.\\
+All your fears about me are true.\\
+If you knit for a friend, does that make it a sin?\\
+Pardon me, I didn't knit it for you.\\
+\\
+Darling, you have to understand that I didn't knit that for you.
+Elisabeth Zimmermann once said to knit on through all crises,
+and that's exactly what I'm doing. When a lonesome stranger asked me if that was hand-spun I was knitting, well - no man had ever talked to me like that before. Maybe I just need a new project.\\
+\\
+Pardon me, I didn't knit that for you.\\
+I was swatching it first, but it grew.\\
+Row by row, stitch by stitch,\\
+I was scratching an itch.\\
+Pardon me, I didn't knit that for you.\\
