As Usual, The Sock Yarns Have No

When You Are Knitting Socks And Sweaters And Scarves, You Aren't Just Knitting. You Are Assigning A Value To Human Effort. You Are Holding Back Time. You Are Preserving The Simple Unchanging Act Of Handwork.

Dear Designer Of Questionable Intent, Please Send Me A Photo Of Yourself. Please Be Wearing The Knitted Pants That You Designed. It's Not That I Don't Believe That There Is Anyone Out There Thing Enough To Wear Horizontally Stripped Trousers Knit From Chunky Wool, It's Just That I Would Like To Know Whether You Are Deliberately Cruel Or Whether You Are The One Woman These Would Look Really Great On.

I Will Always Buy Extra Yarn. I Will Not Try To Tempt Fate.

I Make A Habit Of Setting Aside Some Time Each Evening To Take Out My Knitting And Work Quietly On It, Happily Relaxing. I Believe That It Prepares Me For Sleep And Washes Away The Cares Of My Day.i Will Consider That Intarsia, Or Fair Isle With Three Or More Colors In A Row, Prepares Nobody For Sleep And Cursing Loudly While Flinging Knitting Around The Living Room Is About As Far Away From Soothing As You Can Get.

It Is Some Kind Of Miracle That All Knitting Is Constructed Of Only Two Stitches: Knit And Purl. Sure, You Throw In Some Yarn Overs, And Sometimes You Knit The Stitches Out Of Order, But When It Really Comes Down To It, Knitting Is Simplicity. The Most Incredible Gossamer Lace Shawl ... The Trickiest Aran ... A Humble Sock ... Each Just Made With Knit And Purl.
