Time Travel Tuesdays
David Reidy's Sticks & String podcast for last week got me thinking about how connections in knitting run back through time. The essay for Show 11 is titled "A Long Thread" & is about how the thread of knitting connects us to other knitters not just now, at social or virtual KALs, SnBs, etc, but also to other knitters in the past & in the future.
The show got me thinking of how knitting connects us both to other knitters in the past, & even to the knitter that WE were in the past, if we've been knitting a long time. I've been thinking for a while about devoting some blog time to past projects from pre-blogging era, but had never gotten around to doing it. David's show was just the thing I needed to get me thinking in that direction again.
I've got to get pictures ready & tales written, but stay tuned for some Tuesday knitting retrospectives on my blog in 2007.

I can't wait. It sounds like it will be fun. I agree on the connection thing. That's what made me start spinning. I had read the RED TENT by Anita Diamant. Wonderful descriptions of ancient spinning and fabrics.

I like the idea of this. I feel connected to my grandmother when I knit. I wonder if she felt connected to others before her.
