+ | //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.\\ | ||
