Excerpts from Franklin’s essays

From Monsters in the Closet:
“…The stash prefers to feed exclusively upon a diet of yarn, and will only take up residence in proximity to a ready supply. Fiber content makes no difference – it will munch as happily upon acrylic as it will cashmere.”

From Crafty:
“…in an unguarded moment I let it slip that I think knitting could be fairly categorized as a craft. You can still see the scar where the sock needle punctured my neck.”

From Immortality:
“ … We think, just one more row. Then we glance at the clock a moment later and find we’ve missed our bedtime, or a dentist appointment, or the month of October.”
