Knitting in Public

I agree with you Mirjam, it is hard to stay polite but I do. Not being polite will only drive some people away, others do not care. As you hinted, the more people knitting the more shops that will stay open. Maybe even a new one once in a while. I know this has been mentioned before but, I will say it again. Just try to think what it is like to be a male knitting in public. As I have been doing for over 25 years. I do as you Miram and stay polite, it drives some crazy when I do not get irritated. I just smile and keep on knitting or crocheting. Dennis Dennis, I just tell them I am not in therapy nor do I drink or take drugs to cope with stress. That usually shuts them up very quickly. DA Thanks DA, I will get many miles out of that!!! Dennis |

As to polite answers , that is what we are , no way should we change our persons for some agressive person. Deep down i think part of those reactions are a bit of jealousy , because we make something either useful and /or decorative with our time . minds and hearts . mirjam Mirjam, You explain everything so well. *I got most of my aggression out in the * military. *I agree, I think they are a little jealous of our creativity. Dennis- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Thank you Dennis , I must add that in my curating words , for the knitting exhibition "The Magic Wands" , i suggested that some makes might feel threatened by women holding long knitting needles . mirjam |
