Claire Learns to Knit, from Diana Gabaldon's Drums of Autumn
"Jamie snorted briefly and picked up a needle and a ball of yarn.
"‘It's no verra difficult, Sassenach. Look – this is how ye cast up your row.’
Drawing the thread out through his closed fist, he made a loop round his thumb, slipped it onto the needle, and with a quick economy of motion, cast on a long row of stitches in a matter of seconds. Then he handed me the other needle and another ball of yarn.
‘There – you try.’”
From A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
"It was additionally disconcerting to have madame knitting all the way there, in a public conveyance; it was additionally disconcerting yet, to have madame in the crowd in the afternoon, still with her knitting in her hands as the crowd waited to see the carriage of the King and Queen."
from Song of the Shirt, 1941 by Dorothy Parker
Knitting, once you have caught the hang of it, is agreeable work, a relaxation from what strains life may be putting upon you. When you knit, save when you are at those bits where you must count stitches, there is enough of your mind left over for you to take part in conversations, and for you to be receptive of news and generous with it.

Thanks Deniz! I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope your envelope arrives soon. Of course, I will copy and resend the pattern, but I'm just so mad about the yarn samples. Grrrr! Silly post office!
