A half finished shawl left on the coffee table isn't a mess; it's an object of art.

The first time you find yourself having a conversation about moss stitch with a group of people who aren't desperately trying to escape you ... it's like coming home.

It took me years and years of trial efforts to work out that there is absolutely no knitting triumph I can achieve that my husband will think is worth being woken up for.

There is practically no activity that cannot be enhanced or replaced by knitting, if you really want to get obsessive about it.

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

Knitters use knitting to value-add to the world.

I will resist the urge to underestimate the complexity of knitting.
