It's only knitting and it's one of the few times in your life when there are no bad consequences to a mistake.

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.

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

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

When people see me knitting, I tell them I'm a knitter. Not the sort of knitter they may have run into before, but a passionate, constant, deliberate knitter. I knit everyday, all the time, everywhere I go.

You don't knit because you are patient. You are patient because you knit

You know you knit too much when ... Before you buy anything, such as a hammock or curtains, you seriously wonder whether you could knit it.
