This is a beautiful piece of writing about your journey... where you had to be your own cheer-leader. Geesh! I love your illustrations... and as I've said before, your posts reach in and tug on my love of all things fiber. xoxo
Yes, I too love your article. And drawings 😍. Knitting sometimes feels like an intimate moment of me and my needles while also making something for another. I love knitting.
Thank you, Margaux! I have enjoyed returning to my illustration roots (I was the staff artist at Interweave Press for nine years) I like what you wrote about the intimacy of knitting for someone. Lovely.

I enjoy your writing and can relate to your joy in learning to knit.
Thank you, Lenia. I am happy to hear that. I didn't understand why I became a knitter until I began to write. Joy is the right word.
Perfectly summing up the bucket of crabs analogy. All the poor kids who nearly, but not quite, got out. I'm glad you did.
Indeed! For some, those school years were the glory days. I have never understood that.
