I Will Always Buy Extra Yarn. I

I Recognize That Knitting Can Improve My Mood In Trying Circumstances

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.

It Is A Peculiarity Of Knitters That They Chronically Underestimate The Amount Of Time It Takes To Knit Something. Birthday On Saturday? No Problem. Socks Are Small. Never Mind That The Average Sock Knit Out Of Sock-weight Yarn Contains About 17,000 Stitches. Never Mind That You Need Two Of Them. (that's 34,000 Stitches, For Anybody Keeping Track.) Socks Are Only Physically Small. By Stitch Count, They Are Immense.

There Is Practically No Activity That Cannot Be Enhanced Or Replaced By Knitting, If You Really Want To Get Obsessive About It.

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