I should get a sign and put it up at my desk at work:
"I'm knitting socks. They're for my mum. For Christmas, yes. No, I did not finish that scarf. Because I made a mistake and the thought of fixing it is not great. No, I will not knit you a thing. Not even if you ask nicely, no. Especially not if you drop hints. I can't teach you how to knit since I'm a bit of an amateur myself. I'm trying to count stitches, please leave me alone."
