Now let me I take a wild guess --- those snobby ones usually are not the ones trying to pick up a one-night-stand in a bar. Perhaps you will find them at a wine tasting?

Haha, I think you're right. I seem to come across them more on the internet. In real life it's actually not that bad.

Today, they would just look on wikipedia on their smartphone, walk over, and say "Did you know that the earliest known knitted items in Europe were made by Muslim knitters employed by Spanish Christian royal families?" |

Don't we just whip out our smartphones and the biggest one wins?

It's easy to say all this now, but back then I was pretty much asking to get laughed at. Not that it stopped me. The answer to the question "So, will anyone mind if I knit?" often determined my accepting or declining of invitations anywhere
Nowadays I read about people who take their knitting into pubs and it's not all that unusual , even sexy. Trends come and go. We have people like The Yarn Harlot blazing trails and bringing the cool back into knitting. ETA: and now e-readers have made it a LOT easier to knit and read at the same time. no need to "hold a book open". Last edited by spindlegirl; 09-14-2012 at 05:24 AM. |
