I am a recent convert and budding fanatic. I originally learned in Girl Scouts when I was a kid, and then this past Thanksgiving when my parents were visiting, my Mom insisted on buying me a beginner's kit, cast on all my stiches and got my going on a lovely scarf which I now wear every day.<BR/><BR/>When I'd done a few rows, that first night, she looked at what I'd done, clapped her hands together and cried out, "I'm so proud of you!"<BR/><BR/>Did she realize I'd been waiting to hear her say that for 44 years?<BR/><BR/>But it has made it all the more wonderful, carrying on the tradition. I'm now in a beginner's class and have found a group to knit with on weekends. And recently came into possession of some needles and an awesome pattern book, from a friend of a friend of my mom's who's gone into a nursing home and can't manage it any more. So I feel priveleged to be carrying on that tradition too.<BR/><BR/>All the best! Talk to you in cyberspace.<BR/><BR/>Ellen in AppletonEllenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01193676278660261292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8323860.post-9429719069332943792007-05-06T23:10:00.000-04:002007-05-06T23:10:00.000-04:00so, on re-read this still a very fascinating list....so, on re-read this still a very fascinating list. not sure about the best way to reply. i'm glad you to chose to share with us. i'm with heather on being careful about sharing secrets. i think that the whole thing about feminism and "traditional" pursuits is a great topic for conversation. the other stuff- hmm not so much for discussing the rest in comments. sueAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8323860.post-11912391467461438952007-04-25T23:25:00.000-04:002007-04-25T23:25:00.000-04:00This is a fascinating look at you.One thing about ...This is a fascinating look at you.<BR/><BR/>One thing about the knitting, gardening, and feminism...

But recently I told someone one and so far it's turned out ok. The others stay with me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
