Why I knit, #31
(Not any pair of mine, but this photo perfectly captures what I mean. And I commend flickr user adamknits for knitting them. Man socks, that’s a lot of sock knitting, and the reason why my husband doesn’t have his own … Continue reading
Why I Knit, #30
(A typical Knitch Sunday, with its usual colorful assortment of awesome folks. Yay, knitters.) Because it’s the great equalizer. I think I’ve written about this before, but it’s absolutely true. Last Tuesday, the place where I work hosted an event. … Continue reading

Why I knit, #18
Because when I’m sitting at home, sick, on the couch, it makes me feel as though I haven’t wasted a whole day. I didn’t feel like I’d wasted time when I was a child. I felt like it was a … Continue reading
Why I Knit, Reason #17
Because when I get really frustrated with something (like last night, when I became dismayed and felt like I might never understand Hindi sentence structure, which I possibly never will, except for explaning the size of a room and its … Continue reading
