“But dear, you hate to sew.
I will be married soon. Lady Thiel says a woman with needlework in her hands is generally assumed to have no other thoughts in her head and can safely harbor any number of improprieties. That will come in handy, especially when I'm married to a wizard.”

“Needlework is a retreat from the white noise of everyday life. It is also, crucially, a choice rather than the social requirement it was for women in the 18th and 19th centuries...It is not something we do because we don't have better things to do with our time, but because we find it a creative, mindful and stimulating activity that lets our minds wander as our fingers track over what we're working on.”
