The only difference between an experienced knitter and new knitter is that the experienced knitter makes bigger mistakes faster. Be bold; there are no terrible consequences in knitting.

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.

Achieving the state of SABLE is not, as many people who live with these knitters believe, a reason to stop buying yarn, but for the knitter it is an indication to write a will, bequeathing the stash to an appropriate heir.

As usual, the sock yarns have no idea what is going on.

SABLE- A common knitting acronym that stands for Stash Acquisition Beyond Life Expectancy.

The chances of running out of yarn on a project are directly related to the difficulty that you will have getting more.
