“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.” KindMadeTwoSometimesOrderMiracleIncrediblesSimplicityHumbleSockLaceKnittingStitchesYarn Book:At Knit's End: Meditations for Women Who Knit Too Much Source: At Knit's End: Meditations for Women Who Knit Too Much

Buckets of wasted time that could be an exquisite lace shawl.” PeopleLooksI CanOpportunityWaitingLinesTvsMonthsEach DayPairsBusRidingExquisiteSockBucketsLaceWasted TimeKnittingTime SpentWatching TvNeedleworkMittensWaiting In Line Author:Stephanie Pearl-McPhee
