Quote

Since I became a knitting humor writer, I seem to be understood a little better - at least for the purposes of social discourse.

Knitters use knitting to value-add to the world.

We still have a lot of work to do in American culture. More open-mindedness is happening - in some cases rapidly, in some, slowly.

I explain at the parties that I believe knitting is a transformative and intriguing act that can change the life and brain of the person doing it, and that knitting is a perfect metaphor for life and insight into some better ways through it.

There are twice as many knitters as golfers in North America. Still, if you walk into any airport in North America, you can find a golf magazine but not a knitting magazine, even though you can't golf on a plane.

America is not just a country, it's an idea, and real Americans are getting busy.

I do know that there isn't ever going to be a time when there aren't any knitters.

I think we ought to talk about what the American people want, and that is jobs and get the economy on track.

America is not a blanket woven from one thread, one color, one cloth.

As a writer I care about America, and care about its carelessness.
