Sweaters Need To Be Imagined, Dreamed Over.

Knitters Use Knitting To Value-add To The World.

You Don't Knit Because You Are Patient. You Are Patient Because You Knit

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.

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.

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