Help with old english knitting directions

LOL Thanks, Cher. I am taking one WIP with me, and yarn for a couple of
pairs of socks - basically mindless knitting, as I don't want to miss
anything.

that is what I intend to do as well, I have some fleece I want to put to
rovings and then trickle drop dye spin it up, and put it in my RV ready for
the great tour in about three to four weeks time, depending on if DH can
finish the job he's on early enough, if not early May will be fine too..

Cher and Katherine ,
I ALWAYS take some work with me , whenm i travel anywhere and esp when
i travel to Belgium ,,, My Aquaintances who wonder , where i have the
time to have knitted or embroidered `ALL THIS THINGS` , are surprised
to hear i do it on those `moments in between`,,, in the airport in the
bus , in the morning at my father`s house Before he gets up , on his
pace, or in the evenings when he goes earlier to bed... Never mind how
much i make ,,,,, "A stich + A Stich = A row + Row and before you know
it , i have an other nice item.....I also go to some conventions, and
i really hate this long Listening to lectures that sometimes, as
interesting as they are , make me sleepy or edgy ,,, my hand could
knit or embroider but people Look at me with THIS LOOK , same people
don`t hesitate to Talk in Half Loud voices which are far more
disruptive to other than my quiet knitting ... I am really seriously
considering starting to knit/embroider again in public ,,,,,

Hi Mirjam,

I took some sock knitting to the pub a couple of times, if I can get the
seat near the door, where it isn't so smokey, and once I heard a guy say to
his friend at the bar, ''blimey, theres a woman knitting over there!'' so I
went to him and said, ''you're knowledge astounds me, that you know what I
am doing, a pity you seem to lack tact, however, no matter, would you like
to come and learn!'' he looked at me as if I'd gone mad, and Don the
landlord, grinned,and said, ''she does many a weird and wonderful thing in
a pub, wait til next week, come and see what she's doing then!'' Meaning I
was booked to entertain there and this guy obviously had never seen me
perform, but he turned up, and of course I ''got'' at him all night, now we
are very good friends. He isn't very old, but I feel he's been educated, in
tact if nothing else..

Well, my knitting is packed. SO is everything else, and we will be leaving
shortly. I have some errands to run before I go the airport, so I don't know
if I will be back before I leave or not. If not, I'll see you in a couple of
weeks. We are due back on APril 23rd, and I don't think I'll be able to
access the group while I am gone, so this could be the last you hear from me
for a while.

Have a great Easter, those of you who celebrate it. And whatever else you
celebrate at this time of year, I hope it is wonderful.

See you all later.

Higs,
Katherine

I have heard blokes say, ''blimey, there's a woman knitting over there!''
However, usually the tone when they say that is not as bad as when they say
''BLIMEY, there's a MAN knitting over there!!!'', which is what I hear more
often : )

Mostly it was a comment that I head from guys in football jerseys drinking
beer on trains in GB. I do not hear it around California. Maybe because
most men in California do not know what knitting is? Maybe, because I live
close to SF and folk around here are tolerant? Maybe because several of my
friends are attorneys, and no footballer, no matter how stupid drunk, wants
to pick a fight with a pack of divorce lawyers?

C H E R !!!!! hahahahh as Usual you are hilarious .... Yesterday as
the Inciator of the Seminar called to wish me Happy holiday ,,, The
seminar is called"Pain of Flash and Blood ", An Interdisciplinary
conferece about the representation of the ill, the suffering and the
delighting body" . I want to go at least 1 day, There will be
pschologists, poets, artists [5 exhibtions by artists who are dealing
with their ailments or in general about suffer ++] Linguists , writers
, a film about a Girl who has to live in some sort of contraption,
philoshers etc... I want to go , am pushed for my time, [ anyway have
to travel by train 2 hours to and and back] , and know from experience
that sitting like this a whole day, with my hands not doing much,
isn`t me. I can listen and make some of the Long stichings i do [on
the big work] Or knit [ my son wants a second Moebious] . But In
israeli Seminars etc,,,,It isn`t done ,,,, After years of women in the
Kiboets General Assemblies knitting ... suddenly it became a no no
.... I realy want to do it ,,,, And as i presented it to the Inciator
yesterday , for me it is one of the Pleasures of the Flesh ,,,, [ he
said he doesn`t mind me doing it, in fact he said he could be a Living
Show . I Said , you know people will look at me , He said he doesn`t
mind, and said why don`t i suggest it to some other colleagues who are
coming., in fact i had a feeling he likes me to do it .. So now i will
think and prepare a work i can do without much fuss [ just long
technical No counting work .] i will prepare to have one of mine ready
, i can take it and always Not do it if circumstances aren`t suitable.
Of course there will always be somebdy saying I am doing it for
attention , but i am really short for time and it helps me to
concentrate on the lectures , whose subjects are`t easy , and when
pics are shown i can stop ...
mirjam

Well Aaron , A "Woman knitting Over there !!! is usually not so kindly
meant , now adays , i think that is one thing That the Feministic
movement failed, It used to be the Acepted thing to knit, or handcraft
[ Idel habds etc,,,,] Than Suddenly it became unacceted or a something
only "primitive women did !!! Educated women Didn`t !!!!" .I am
getting so many people reacting to my knitting on trains , busses ,
Waiting rooms , etc,,,,, that i know it is an odity ,,,, Almost like
Breast feeding in public, Used to be done only by "Primitive women"
than became Done by all who felt like doing it. Nobody now in Westen
world would say a woman breast feeding is Primitive ..... So i really
feel it is time Public knitting or crafting should be accepted again.
The last woman who commented to me about this being "primitive" , got
an answer that my clothes Primitively better looking than her`s ,,,, i
am loosing ,my patience for all the strange remarks of people ,,,, who
don`t mind other writing on their laptops, or listening to music , or
phoning with half the world talking about Personal stuff in public ...
If this is tolerated , why isn`t my handcrafting tolerated .....
As to fellows saying something about Knitting Men ? well it is still
an odity ,,, Do it more and spread the Stiches
