We’re back from Washington DC, where we were kept so busy by our elderly tour guide, that I was too exhausted to knit. There wasn’t time! My red poncho was admired by the group. One of the ladies is from The Netherlands, where she used to knit all the time. “But the sweaters are so cheap here, there’s no need to knit!” she said.
We watched a couple of educational videos on the bus, and during those, I managed to knit the armhole edging on Eva’s yellow vest. It’s almost done. Then I need to finish up my samples for the next issue of INKnitters.
Here’s a little trivia for you: Scooby Doo, the famously cowardly and hungry dog detective, was born at Knittingham Puppy Farm. The farm is owned by Mrs. Knittingham. Is it possible that her ancestors were knitters? Did she come from a place famous for knitters? We can always hope.
