I've been cruising the innernet trying to find wool shops "conincidentaly" close to our intended tour routes over the next few weeks (as in, "oh look what a COINCIDENCE there's a wool shop, can I just have a quick look"), and I came across this gem on the Selter (makers of Addis) website. Thought I'd share:
"The increasing popularity of knittig [sic] meets with the elementary desire to create something visible with your own hands, the yearning for peace and originality as a complement of stress of everyday life. In knitting and crochet every detail has a meaning. Repeats become a principle. Needles and wool become a source of personal traditions."

p.s. little time so far to hunt and gather, but I have an excuse now having finished the back of Geoff's Vest and needing a stitch holder which I didnt bring. *doh* Will report back soon.

Surely there's a wool shop on every other corner where you are? No. Wait. That's my fantasy world. Sounds like the knitting progresses well. I won't say that you could use waste yarn or a shoelace for that stitch holding business because obviously you need the right tool for the job.
Travel well. :)
I'll drink to that thought for the day. I like it a lot!
I love that, especially 'repeats become a principle'.
Happy hunting!
Lovely little paragraph, that one :)
