William GoldmanI would describe her more as a knitter than a doer.
About This Quote
When you meet someone whom you would describe as a knitter, you are talking about someone who is more creative than productive. “Knitter” is derived from the word “knit,” meaning to create something out of something else. When you are truly creative, you are bound to have some sort of creative outlet. If you are a knitter, then your creative outlet might be writing poetry or knitting sweaters or drawing pictures of kittens instead of making sculptures or building houses.
The idea of being a knitter is actually an insult in most circles. This is because people tend to think that people who are creative are nothing more than pretentious works of art.
