good yarns-or so say the publishers of Bear Brand Knitting and Crochet books. I have to wonder what "yarns" were were spun around Goldie's knitting circle as she worked the patterns in these books.
Most likely some were similar to the yarns spun in Knitter's Blogland. Spilled beans, sick children, exchanged recipes and the anticipation of gifting knits.
Possibly overheard less frequently were stories of opening swap boxes in the room with opposing counsel, sock puppet dramas, children vacationing while mom gets a needed rest (or runs around the house nekkid- whichever she prefers), and decorating the bathroom with framed holograph Jesus-inspired postcards.
Many thanks to Uberstrickenfrau for the package of vintage books that arrived yesterday. No need to browse the flea markets today. My initial intentions included a collage of knitted pictures. Now I'm not so sure. It seems almost criminal to disassemble the historical artifacts of this art/craft. More intriguing would be to pick a favorite and cast on.
Tomorrow I will go to the newly found LYS for a "sit and knit" (as opposed to a StitchnBitch) from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Perhaps there will be more "yarns" (woven with fiber and words) to share.
