Someone explain to me why I haven’t taken up knitting yet?
I like socks. I like scarves. I have been known to wear shawls. Why am I not knitting?
Is it because I know that way lies madness and yarn?

Speaking as someone who has three big honking 53-gallon totes full of yarn currently serving as a bedside table of sorts… yes, that way lies madness and yarn. Beware.

Yes, that way lies madness. And things like a knitted womb. And curiously shaped chapstick holders. You’ll love it 😉

Yarn, and madness, and musk ox slippers:

Oh please join us. Please! It’s the best sort of madness, truly it is. (Also, reply to this comment by email with your address, and I’ll send you a little something by way of a taste test. Rosewood needles are the only way to learn.)
Madness and yarn. Yes. Exactly. I crochet, and my yarn stash has taken over my *entire* spare bedroom.

Yes, yes it is because that way lies madness. The way of the sticks and string compels you!
…and then comes spinning, because knitting is no longer weird enough.
Madness? You have no idea. I started knitting and now my house is overrun with yarn on the hoof – Angora rabbits! I rarely manage to knit much now, I’m so badly weakened by cute overload. (Actually, it’s the rabbit obsession that introduced me to your work yesterday.) If this warning isn’t enough to dissuade you from the thought of knitting, ravelry.com is the online mecca of all things knit.
