Oh, look!  You can knit while you study.  Debbie Jabbour, whose C.V. includes Voice writer, AUSU council president, and Alberta MLA, shares her learning-to-knit journey.  “Scraping the bottom of my financial barrel to pay my grad program fees meant I had no money to buy Christmas gifts this year – so I decided to make them all.”  From My Perspective—Knitting Isn’t Just for Grandma, March 2, 2005.
