To make a connection with a stranger. To finally see one another after strenuously avoiding eye contact all year.”

Kate Jacobs, The Friday Night Knitting Club“Cat, I'll let you in on a little secret. We don't all love our jobs every day. And doing something you have passion for doesn't make the work part of it any easier...It just makes you less likely to quit.”
Kate Jacobs, The Friday Night Knitting Club“Women do amazing, creative, wonderful things.”
