Domestication

I called my mom last week to fill her in on my new hobby.  Ok, I will admit it - I was also hoping for some free yarn and other supplies.  My mom's reaction to my blossoming desire to knit was to ask me if I was becoming domesticated.  Naturally, I was a wee bit offended by that statement and the insinuation that only women who are barefoot and pregnant or the old woman in the shoe can knit.  Because I can assure you right now that I am neither of those. 

So, I am here to break the stereotype - if there really is one - and I declare that knitting is for everyone - young, old, married, single, dare I say, even men.
