But I think she stands a better chance if she abandons her blog and starts afresh. Maybe she didn't quite realize what she was doing. (Fat chance.. but benefit of doubt etc!) mumbaigirl: I've never been more happy with my head! And yes, it's making me reconsider all my assumptions about knitting and needle work. All that skill not getting credit because it's a woman's work. Bhel Puri: Thanks for that fabulous link! Anil: Yes, I was completely captivated by the gentle click click of those needles. Besides, I'd never seen anyone knit with such delicate needles. AN Nanda: Err.. Am not sure if men CAN'T knit, or don't have patience. If the majority of Indian men have the patience to sit through a 5 day test match, or the patience to wait for others to clean up after them - am sure they can muster enough patience to sit down and knit something. dipali: Some of us aren’t inclined towards knitting. :)

Poor men were told to praise this as an art, a passion of beauty. Thanks. It's a beautiful snippet to go through. Nanda http://ramblingnanda.blogspot.com http://remixoforchid.blogspot.com Hi,

I think God gave needles and an extra dose of patience for women. Only to the women. Poor men were told to praise this as an art, a passion of beauty.

Thanks. It’s a beautiful snippet to go through.

Neha am sure you look wonderful-what a lovely colour. Knew somebody who made me review my ideao f knitting (retrieve it from the gender basket). There was a whole exhibition of modern day knitting I went to see because of her. It appeared to be a very meditative exercise for some. Congratulations rr.
