My Favorite Knitting Quotes:


“Properly practiced, knitting soothes the troubled spirit, 
and it doesn't hurt the untroubled spirit either.” 
― Elizabeth Zimmermann


“ I will continue to freak out my children by knitting in public. It's good for them.” 
― Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, At Knit's End: Meditations for Women Who Knit Too Much


“Given good yarn, good workmanship, and good care, a knitted shawl can outlive its knitter, providing warmth and pleasure to several generations of family and friends.” 
― Martha Waterman


“As I get older, I just prefer to knit. ” 
― Tracey Ullman

“a half finished shawl left on the coffee table isn't a mess; it's an object of art” 
― Stephanie Pearl-McPhee


“it is pure potential. Every ball or skein of yarn holds something inside it, and the great mystery of what that might be can be almost spiritual” 
― Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, Knitting Rules!: The Yarn Harlot's Bag of Knitting Tricks
