Knitting Meditations

“We live in a world of machines.  Our world moves faster, bigger, and better every moment. Machines replace humans and often do our jobs better.
When you are knitting socks, sweaters and scarves, you aren’t just knitting.  You are assigning a value to human effort. You are holding back time. You are preserving the simple unchanging act of handwork.”
     Stephanie Pearl-McPhee – in At Knit’s End, Meditations for Women Who Knit Too Much.  Please purchase this fabulous book at Amazon.com
