Oh, Man! I HATE when I'm flying somewhere and my yarn gets tangled up in an aeroplane engine turbine!

Save Us, Sully! ;)

My mom could knit like a mofo she could knit smoke and drink and watch Red Skelton and still catch me teasing my twin sister

Scientists thoroughly understand Global Warming, and know exactly how much the seas will rise in 100 years.

And, oh yeah, we’re also beginning to understand that “knitting” stuff too ...

Thanks for reminding me to start my Christmas gifts! Heh.

Last week: why do water drops make a sound when they land?
This week: why is fabric knitted from stiff fibers stretchy?

I love it when scientists try to explain what Grandma knew without words. It kills me when I go into an art museum and see a painting of a color pattern that sold for $ millions, then walk into a quilt shop and see an incredibly complex design that sells for a couple of hundred.

Somebody smart once said, "Does the ornithologist teach the bird to sing?"

Oh, this is so much fun. My favorite topic - knitting.

There is research out there that lifelong knitters live longer than the rest of you people.

As The Bible says, we are laterally knit together in the womb.
