It's only because I feel like such a philistine spending all that time in hair and makeup that I started to knit. I used to spend that time studying Italian and French. Then after I had two kids, my brain turned to mush and I took up knitting. ↗

A plain sock by itself is terribly boring, but it could score points by having a clever stitch pattern, or maybe by being made out of a very beautiful yarn that's an enchantment to work with. (Sadly, it is still infuriatingly true that being beautiful without being clever is almost worth more points than being clever without being beautiful, but such are the rules of life and knitting-they are cruel, but there anyway). ↗

Cat, I'll let you in on a little secret. We don't all love our jobs every day. And doing something you have passion for doesn't make the work part of it any easier...It just makes you less likely to quit." ~ Georgia "The Friday Night Knitting Club ↗

There is practically no activity that cannot be enhanced or replaced by knitting, if you really want to get obsessive about it. ↗

Knitting is very conducive to thought. It is nice to knit a while, put down the needles, write a while, then take up the sock again. ↗

I think we just need to stick to our knitting on the topics and the subjects the American people care about. ↗
