You Know You Knit Too Much When

Knitting Is A Boon For Those Of Us Who Are Easily Bored. I Take My Knitting Everywhere To Take The Edge Off Of Moments That Would Otherwise Drive Me Stark Raving Mad.

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.

I Explain At The Parties That I Believe Knitting Is A Transformative And Intriguing Act That Can Change The Life And Brain Of The Person Doing It, And That Knitting Is A Perfect Metaphor For Life And Insight Into Some Better Ways Through It.

When Confronted With A Birthday In A Week I Will Remember That A Book Can Be A Really Good Present, Too.

I Will Continue To Freak Out My Children By Knitting In Public. It's Good For Them.
