“Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.”

“The impact on your garment of good finishing versus bad finishing can mean the difference between Ann’s definitions of handmade and homemade. One — handmade (skilled craftsmanship) — is to be treasured; the other — homemade (uneven execution) — is not up to snuff in Ann’s book. “Handmade is not homemade. Do it right and wear it with pride!”
― Reba Linker, Follow the Yarn: The Knitting Wit & Wisdom of Ann Sokolowski
