For the record.

Knitters may treat the fact that they have (literally) miles of yarn and more projects on the go than they have fingers as something to be cheerful about, or a situation that they are working to amplify.
None of this means that you get to volunteer a knitter for a project.[1] Seriously. Yes they can knit things up surprisingly quickly sometimes, yes they seem to want to bury themselves in sticks and string, yes they don't seem to mind being overwhelmed.
As with other hobbies, that doesn't mean you get to assign any of this to them.
Thank you. That was all.

[1] Possibly especially when it involves ucky[2] yarn.
[2] A highly technical term, here covering "stuff I really did not want to knit with."
