I Will Always Buy Extra Yarn. I

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

Everybody Tells Me That They Would Love To Knit, But They Don't Have Time. I Look At People's Lives And I Can See Opportunity And Time For Knitting All Over The Place. The Time Spent Riding The Bus Each Day? That's A Pair Of Socks Over A Month. Waiting In Line? Mittens. Watching Tv? Buckets Of Wasted Time That Could Be An Exquisite Lace Shawl.

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.

I Do Know That There Isn't Ever Going To Be A Time When There Aren't Any Knitters.

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.
