She was weird and cool and occasionally brought her pet hedgehog to school in her purse, but didn't teach me to knit.)<br /><br />Your silken scabbard is gorgeous!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742801211056843844.post-45472098530728898252010-04-26T21:28:19.179-05:002010-04-26T21:28:19.179-05:00The reason you wanted to knit probably has everyth...The reason you wanted to knit probably has everything to do with the type of brain that you have; an engineering brain. Is it the left or the right brain people that love math, puzzles, accounting, organizing, engineering, etc. I believe knitting belongs in that list too. I did accounting for over ten years and am totally addicted to knitting, and am currently enjoying crocheting as well. Somehow, these types of hobbies where lining all of those uniform stitches up and having to count and think about the design really stimulates our brains. We're just lucky I guess, we discovered knitting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742801211056843844.post-48467695262736537742010-04-26T21:08:36.441-05:002010-04-26T21:08:36.441-05:00There must be an awful lot of young grandma's ...There must be an awful lot of young grandma's knitting, I took my niece to a short lived youth knitting group. A couple of the 12 years olds have been knitting for about as long as I have, four/five years.Melissahttp://narvinye.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742801211056843844.post-338051156862398072010-04-26T20:42:59.519-05:002010-04-26T20:42:59.519-05:00Thanks for your comment, and thanks for sharing yo...Thanks for your comment, and thanks for sharing your knitting origins! I was trying to use a bit of self-deprecating humour when I referred to my blog post as navel-gazing - pointless introspection and self-absorption. Not meaning to take away from the exercise on the whole, of course :)Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01932470098845772514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742801211056843844.post-55304397364948380772010-04-26T20:12:28.442-05:002010-04-26T20:12:28.442-05:00I recently told someone that I'm an 80-year-ol...I recently told someone that I'm an 80-year-old woman in a 25-year-old woman's body.

"Isn't that what old women do?" lol. I felt the same way you did when I read my knitting for the first time!biomaj5https://www.blogger.com/profile/00284138405159972910noreply@blogger.com
