Knit on with confidence and hope through all crises.

Now, let us all take a deep breath and forge on into the future; knitting at the ready.

For people allergic to wool, one's heart can only bleed.

Properly practiced, knitting soothes the troubled spirit, and it doesn't hurt the untroubled spirit either.

I can knit. I knit all year, day in, day out. It is my passion, and I rarely knit the same thing twice the same way.

What? You can't knit in the dark? Stuff and nonsense; anybody can. Shut your eyes. Knit one stitch. Open your eyes and look at the stitch; it's all right. Shut your eyes and knit two stitches. Open them. Shut them. Knit three stitches. Falling off a log is no comparison.

Really, handknitting is a dreamy activity, built into many people's thumbs and fingers by genes already there, itching to display their skills and achievement possibilities.
