I'm a knitter. My projects are the ultimate in 'some assembly required.

You know you knit too much when ... You take knitting to a wedding, in case there's a little time before the bride comes down the aisle. Double points if you are the bride.

There is no wrong way to knit. ... We should all agree to stop correcting each other and deal with the more important issue. How wrong crochet is.

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.

When confronted with a birthday in a week I will remember that a book can be a really good present, too.

I will resist the urge to underestimate the complexity of 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.
