I was at my stitch n' munch a few weeks ago, and we actually had people come up to us and ask us all sorts of questions about what we were doing. We were more than glad to answer. They wer e curious about our little group and why we were doing it. One lady said that you don't often see people kip much! She said it's become a lost art, and she really gave us kudos for doing what we were doing! How cool is that?

I think knitting and crocheting are starting to become more social activities. Where I live, what my group does is embraced! The regualrs at the local Panera Breads even miss us when we're gone!

DAMN! Did she think that you had better things to do? (It kept you from wanting to kill people you didn't like. That's a plus!)

Agreed.

OK, this one can't be called a compliment even in the backhand way, but I thought I'd share...

During some recent travel while waiting for a connecting flight, I sat down in a semi-crowded airport seating area and started knitting.  A 20-25ish year old guy sitting a couple seats over looked at me, then looked at the 2 other women nearby who were in the midst of a conversation about something that I would classify as intelligent/somewhat nerdy (nerdy women rock!), then back at me, then back at them.  Then he said, "Pfff!  I picked the wrong place to sit down!" and got up and walked away.   WOW!
