Sweaters Need To Be Imagined, Dreamed Over.

As Usual, The Sock Yarns Have No Idea What Is Going On.

Some Knitters Say That They Buy Yarn With No Project In Mind And Wait Patiently For The Yarn To "speak" To Them. This Reminds Me Of Michelangelo, Who Believed That Every Block Of Stone He Carved Had The Statue Waiting Inside And That All He Did Was Reveal It. I Think I've Had Yarn Speak To Me During The Knitting Process, And I've Definitely Spoken To It. Perhaps I'm Doing It Wrong, Or Maybe My Yarn And I Aren't On Such Good Terms, But It Really Seems To Me That All I Say Is "please" And All It Ever Says Is "no".

Knitters Just Can't Watch Tv Without Doing Something Else. Knitters Just Can't Wait In Line, Knitters Just Can't Sit Waiting At The Doctor's Office. Knitters Need Knitting To Add A Layer Of Interest In Other, Less Constructive Ways.

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.

The Twitch Above My Right Eye Will Disappear With Knitting Practice.
