It is a little known fact that much like birds, who can always find north, knitters can always find yarn.

I will not let the non-knitters of the world decide how normal I am.

Dear designer of questionable intent, Please send me a photo of yourself. Please be wearing the knitted pants that you designed. It's not that I don't believe that there is anyone out there thing enough to wear horizontally stripped trousers knit from chunky wool, it's just that I would like to know whether you are deliberately cruel or whether you are the one woman these would look really great on.

When you are knitting socks and sweaters and scarves, you aren't just knitting. You are assigning a value to human effort. You are holding back time. You are preserving the simple unchanging act of handwork.

I will continue to freak out my children by knitting in public. It's good for them.

Knitters use knitting to value-add to the world.

It turns out I will buy any yarn, even yarn I will never use, if the store discounts it by more than 50 percent.
