Things That People Have Said To Me Since I Started Working In A Yarn Shop

“i need more of the rowan felted tweed, i’m making some first-world-war balaclavas and i’ve run out”

“i’m making my husband an x-files themed jumper for christmas and i can’t find a good colour for the spaceship”

“do you have any wool/acrylic blends on sale, i’m making hats for the seamen’s mission to give to sailors and i know they say to use acrylics because they’re cheap but it gets awfully cold at sea and i worry”

“i need some black wool for gloves, but it has to be flame-proof because i’m making them for the beltane fire-jugglers”

“could you see if you have another copy of this pattern for a baby shawl, i’ve knitted it in different colours for all of my six children and twelve grandchildren but it’s started to fall apart a bit"

[from a blond, six-foot surfer dude] “yeah, do you have any really light needles, i’m going backpacking around argentina and i want to do some socks while i’m on the coach but there isn’t much room in my rucksack”

“which of these colours do you think would be best for a knitted corgi”

“do you have any patterns for dog hats”

“I’ve spent my life trying to undo habits—especially habits of thinking. They narrow your interaction with the world. They’re the phrases that come easily to your mind, like: ‘I know what I think,’ or ‘I know what I like,’ or ‘I know what’s going to happen today.’ If you just replace ‘know’ with ‘don’t know,’ then you start to move into the unknown. And that’s where the interesting stuff happens.”
