Not me......I was a teenager in the Swinging 60s and 70s. Now it is cool to knit and boys do it too. Sites like yours keep us silver surfers cool and ALIVE. Still knitting now I have retired to live in France and have just dusted off my old Haldanes spinning wheel.

Zooming around the mountainous highways in a little silver VW bug, I grew slightly bored, as it was my friend who was doing the zooming. Being an incredibly talented and rather avid knitter, the best friend suggests I pull her knitting accoutrements out from the back seat and become her student of fiber art. I'm not interested. It's a fad. Cameron Diaz knits. No thank you. The best friend does not accept my pathetic response and demonstrates proper needle movements with her index fingers. Thankfully she just used her index fingers while the other 8 digits were busy clutching the wheel. I mimicked her hands with my own and very quickly formed perfect little stitches all along my needle. By the time we reached our destination, we had stopped to purchase my own knitting supplies.
