There Is Practically No Activity That Cannot

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

It's Only Knitting And It's One Of The Few Times In Your Life When There Are No Bad Consequences To A Mistake.

When People See Me Knitting, I Tell Them I'm A Knitter. Not The Sort Of Knitter They May Have Run Into Before, But A Passionate, Constant, Deliberate Knitter. I Knit Everyday, All The Time, Everywhere I Go.

The Essay Is One Of My Favourite Forms Of Writing, And I Feel Like What's Inside Is Really Personal, More So Than With Shorter Pieces.

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".
