Went by my Friend`s wool shop yesterday to bring her an invitation to the exhibtion i curated. Of course picked up a ball of wool i need to finnish something . A woman is choosing wools to make fringes , she is very happy and asks me ;And when did you RESTAT knitting ??? " , I had to gulp;"i never stopped!" , she laughed straight into my face ; Eveybody stopped sweety, I am one of the first to have restarted the Fashion again.....I breathed deeply and smiled but held my could be answer to myself. Than she noticed my sweater, Pink with cables and other stripes of patterns going diagonally to the middle..." Nice sweater , where did you buy it ? " the shop helping lady wanted to say something , i put a finger on my mouth and signalled to her to say nothing... :said Thank you , and walked away. I have decided that i don`t want that kind of stupid remarks any more. I myself see nice sweaters and Compliment the people just with ; I like your Sweater !!!!that is enough. I know i am quite a good knitter, i know i never stopped to knit.crochet , i am realy tired of explaining that to all those people who Refound it ,, I am Very glad it is back into fashion, But i don`t understand this need of some of those people to `assure` themselves that everybody is in the same boat. mirjam
