About This Quote

Another saying that has been around for many years states, “Achieving the state of Sable is not, as many people who live with these knitters believe, a reason to stop buying yarn, but for the knitter it is an indication to write a will, bequeathing the stash to an appropriate heir.” The meaning of this saying is that if you are able to knit in the state of Sable , it means you have enough money to afford yarn for future projects.
