Here is where I feel all ZEN inside, and I say, "Ladies, we are sitting here tying knots in strings with sticks. Why on EARTH is this SOO FUN??" They all laugh, agree, and continue.

I expect to be knitting long after my mind has failed me on everything else -- I will be at the rest home writing the same poem over & over again, with breaks for miles and miles of garter stitch. <br /><br />I'm very selective about which of my "real life" friends gets invited to my blog (and so far NONE of my extended family make the cut) but one friend did comment after reading -- "It's very nice, but there's a LOT of knitting, isn't there?" Clearly she's not found The Way of the Wool yet.Marushka C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15501083029600186860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223334335186523214.post-29353632476609445092011-06-17T16:39:44.938-06:002011-06-17T16:39:44.938-06:00You said it!

Other than that, if I didn't have Ravelry, I'd bore my friends stupid about it, but since I do, I think most don't even know I knit...Emma (GirlAnachronismE)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07354226176191037080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223334335186523214.post-72292689960561584592011-06-17T10:00:49.003-06:002011-06-17T10:00:49.003-06:00AWWW.

And I'm pretty sure with enough dedication, you can never be too blind to knit. My great-grandmother went blind and was still crocheting up until she died, king size blankets with really intricate stitch patterns that she did all by memory and touch. There's mistakes in it, but you have to know what you're looking for, otherwise it's perfectly gorgeous. If she can do, we all can.Rogue Butterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07045959911154727083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223334335186523214.post-34631399767725443942011-06-15T08:46:25.117-06:002011-06-15T08:46:25.117-06:00Great blog!

Like I said I collect belly button lint or something. <br /><br />No, I would never laugh at anybody's interests unless they said they were stand-up comedians or something. I've gotten my fill of disrespect for my art. As bitchy as I am at times, I wouldn't do the same. HOWEVER. I might be tempted to say something like, "It's a pretty complicated craft, requiring dexterity and concentration. I can see why it wouldn't interest you."
