I will always buy extra yarn. I will not try to tempt fate.

I explain at the parties that I believe knitting is a transformative and intriguing act that can change the life and brain of the person doing it, and that knitting is a perfect metaphor for life and insight into some better ways through it.

Knitting is a boon for those of us who are easily bored. I take my knitting everywhere to take the edge off of moments that would otherwise drive me stark raving mad.

You know you knit too much when ... You will check out a book from the library just because you heard that one of the characters knits.
