New and Antique knitting

We traveled [ by train] to Tel Aviv yesteday to meet our daughter
[ and visit with her a museum] . We saw an Exhibition of antique
Purses , many of them were embroidered , many knitted and crocheted ,
and some looped from metal rings ,,,,In the train we saw quite some
women and teenagers wearing Hand knitted COTON short sleeved
shirts !!!
We ate on the beach , and when walking after it saw amongst the dove ,
a one legged dove that hobbled on one normal leg and one stump ,,,,

I treated myself this month to a lot of 14 vintage knitting patter magazines
from e-Bay. I have a real love of the old patterns and plan to spend hours
pouring over them and years (I'm a very slow knitter) knitting things from
them. I noticed quite a few patterns for handbags and purses. I am so
impressed with the industriousness of our mothers and grandmothers who did
so much by hand. They really are heroines!
