The Really Fine Print:
Knitting contains 0 carbs, calories or fat. Check with your doctor before you begin a serious exercise program. Knitting has few dangerous side effects; but has been the cause of isolated mini-riots in certain California-based adult assisted living communities. Knitting can be habit forming and has been found to be addictive for certain individuals. If you have knitting sessions that last over 4 hours, consult your doctor; or local fiber specialist immediately.

Knitting is not based on chance. Classes greatly increase skill. Knitting is for entertainment only and should not be utilized for investment purposes.
Knit Responsibly. Don’t Knit and Drive.

Unattended children will be given a flock of sheep and a tranquilizer gun
