Knitting and an 'Agent Provacature'

Getting to the root of why we want to knit what we are working on. It has to be the inspiration, no? We all have seminal events in our life, and some may grace your emotions with an "agent provocateur". For some of the history behind that provocative name, check the blog post on GynoGab. And for those who have an ongoing 'agent provocateur' it would be well to identify it's source. So when I knit, I take copious notes in the margins of things I've read during the day, remembered to look up, or spoke about in hushed tones late at night.
