Mama, papa, and the ninos all knitting lickety-split without a pattern and making sweaters with the most beautiful designs. The men weren't worried about their masculinity, they were making something they could sell and, thus, feed their families.<br /><br />ddAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5709631.post-81026790495474007762012-01-03T20:10:04.555-05:002012-01-03T20:10:04.555-05:00I really enjoy her books (and not just because I l...I really enjoy her books (and not just because I live in the same city as her ;) ). She has a way of thinking deeply about knitting, showing us all that it is so much more than sticks and strings. And what she says can apply to any craft, or anything, really, that we choose to do.

Where are all the works the women did during the same time? Male privilege undermine everything, and I am really glad that slowly (ok, very slowly.) things are starting to change.<br /><br />An interesting read about girls in nerd culture http://www.doctornerdlove.com/2011pandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13906796894069265970noreply@blogger.com
