My friend Shannon gave me Debbie Stoller's Stitch and Bitch 2007 desk calendar.
Reasons for its exceptionality as a gift, Exhibit A:
The page for Saturday, Jan. 6 and Sunday, Jan. 7 reads:
"Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work"--Aristotle.
I'm treating the connections between knitting, writing, and rhetoric (three of my favorite things) as a good omen for this year. And the idea that I might take pleasure in all the work I'm doing seems especially important as I move forward into the later chapters of my dissertation (and, sigh, the deep revisions that will inevitably follow).

Doesn't the word lying at the root of "rhetoric" mean "to string together"? That works with stitching, too. Nice!
