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.

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

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

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

100 years ago, buying something you could make was considered wasteful; now making something you could buy is considered wasteful. I am not convinced this is a step in the right direction.

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.

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