Knitting in times of crisis
All too often, knitting—and fiber arts in general—is diminished to a mere hobby in the face of other art forms with more perceived value. Why knit a sweater, after all, when you can just buy one?

My uncle may very well be the most knitworthy person I know. He’s one of the most creative, capable, and compassionate people I’ve ever met.
