When Confronted With A Birthday In A

If You Were Ever Dumped After Knitting A Guy A Sweater, Consider The Possibility That The Problem Was With The Sweater, Not You. The Recipient Probably Took One Look At The Thing, Imagined A Lifetime Of Having To Pretend To Like (and Wear) This Sweater And Others Of Its Like, And Saw No Choice But To Flee Into The Night

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'm A Knitter. My Projects Are The Ultimate In 'some Assembly Required.

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.

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".
