Stick To Your Knitting

Today's post is somewhat random but not completely unrelated to knitting.  I was listening to a podcast that had nothing to do with knitting.  The person being interviewed (a man) stated that he was going to stick to his knitting.

In my family, we often play a game of where did that word or phrase come from?  The English language is full of interesting twists and turns.  I couldn't resist finding out more about this phrase.

According to Oxford Languages, the phrase stick to your knitting means:  concentrate on an area of familiar activity rather than diversify.

Curiosity got the better of me, and I dug a little deeper.  I found this interview that provides more information.

The internet is a wonderful thing.
