Knitting question for Dear Margo

Posted by Leah on May 13, 2006, 7:47 am

Hi everyone,

Catching up on the news this morning, and in the entertainment
section, I found this knitting question for Dear Margo. Did someone
else post this to the list a while back, or was it another column?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/dear_margo/20060505/en_dm/margo_howard20060505;_ylt=AkYzGqY_Th.Hh5kE6b6Ha0D9mc0F;_ylu=X3oDMTA5aHJvMDdwBHNlYwN5bmNhdA--

I'm not sure how I'd feel about seeing someone else knitting or
crocheting at a formal event. I've been known to knit or crochet at
informal ones, and no one ever complained about my doing it. In fact,
it's generated questions about how long I've been doing either, what
I'm making, who's it for, etc.

BTW, I'm going to be taking it easy this weekend and think I'll
finally get over the SSS and get my second crocheted sock done and a
picture posted on my site. I managed to get a nasty sinus infection,
so I made no plans, which means I will finally have time to craft
again this weekend!

Hi Leah,
I think I posted a while back, but it was about the knitting grandma
who would not make items for a grandchild that lost things that she
made for her.

I always have a project in tow that I do in waiting areas or in the car
while the kids are at activities. But I have never crocheted at a
formal gathering. I would not feel comfortable doing it. I am afraid
that I might give off the feeling that I was bored at their special
show/hide quoted text
most of my formal events. I like to dance and socialize.

At work, when it is not acceptable to do crafts, I try to come up with
ideas for projects and color schemes and write them down. Then I feel
like my crafts are still with me.

Hope you feel better soon.

Diane
