Being subversive is'nt allways bad

One of the members of the Methow Spinners and Weavers guild brought an article from a magazine she gets. I'm not sure of the name of the magazine but it was written by a Molly Marsh. This article is written about knitting and it's new revival in the world. She writes;Knitting is hip. Subversive even.She later writes,The meditative and spiritual qualities of knitting can also yield inward revolutions. It can be healing to stitch in a corner by yourself or in a group, working with your hands to create something beautiful out of a ball of string. For one thing, you can't rush. You have to slow down and focus on what's directly in front of you-a salve for the over processed, over analytical mind.

Perhaps one of the biggest benefits comes in stitching with others. Knitting circles are places for connection, for sharing the, the bad, and the ugly. After all, most of us don't knit because we need to make our own clothes (buying the sweater is actually cheaper); we knit because we need each other.

Well said!

So I'm soon to be leaving to go to the Catholic church to our little knitting group to be subversive and to share knitting and what ever else comes to mind. Knit On! Diana
