Knitting Rules

you’re wearing clothes and you dressed yourself, you’re smart enough to knit.

Real knitters (the ones who’ve fallen down hard and don’t want to get up) would knit grass with sticks if they ran out of money.

A half-finished shawl left on the coffee table isn’t a mess: It’s an objet d’art.

If you never leave the house without your knitting, and only a house fire would make you think twice, your knitting “hobby” may have become a lifestyle.

Admittedly, if you think about it from the non-knitter’s point of view, the statement “I play with string for several hours a day and never tire of it” does sound as if you’re touched

You can show them all of your yarn (although I don’t recommend this; revealing the size of the stash while you’re trying to convince someone you’re not nuts is counterproductive)
