The Cult of Wool
February 14th, 2007 | 2 Comments
As winter has progressed, I feel like I’ve been some sort of weird Wool Evangelist to my non-knitting friends. “I’m cold,” they say. “Haven’t you heard? Wool is much better for trapping heat against your body!” I say, “Wool will set you free! Come, come to the woolly side, where you will experience warmth like never before!”
