The Best Reason For A Knitter To

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.

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".

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.

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

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.
