just because something is fun doesn't mean it's a waste of time.

The best reason for a knitter to marry is that you can't teach the cat to be impressed when you finish a lace scarf.

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.

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.

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