I'm not crazy, I'm just colorful.

The bluebonnet is to Texas what the shamrock is to Ireland, the cherry blossom to Japan, the lily to France, the rose to England and the tulip to Holland.

I have enough yarn.

The only difference between an experienced knitter and new knitter is that the experienced knitter makes bigger mistakes faster. Be bold; there are no terrible consequences in knitting.

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.

My mother told me once that she had her talk with God whenever she started a new sweater: 'Please don't take me in the middle of the sweater.' And as soon as she finished knitting a sweater, and it was blocked and put together, she already had the wool to start the next sweater so that nothing bad would happen.

Knitting is the saving of life.

Maybe the finished product is not the whole point. Maybe the finished us is not the entire point. The point is the learning and the growing and creating of something really cool.

The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.

It's still magic even if you know how it's done.

Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud.

What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.

It always seems impossible until it's done.

Creativity is intelligence having fun.

Write it. Shoot it. Publish it. Crochet it, sauté it, whatever. MAKE.

Keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable.

Properly practiced, knitting soothes the troubled spirit, and it doesn't hurt the untroubled spirit either.

I love the way knitting brings people together.

All knitting is choreography.

The only thing better than singing is more singing; the only thing better than knitting is more knitting.
