I don't usually post from work - this is in fact a first - but I want to get this down before I forget. I was telling a co-worker about the "Newfoundland mittens" that I started (I scrapped the socks and switched projects, but that's a story for another post). She was interested to see the work in progress so I brought it in after lunch and showed it to her.

Another co-worker was present. She looked at me incredulously and said "You have time to knit? I have so much to do, I don't have time for that!" And, she followed it up with, "Besides, my husband saw me knitting once and told me I was too young to knit."

Oh. My. God.

I believe my right eye imploded as I kept my temper in control. How dare, how dare, she question the amount of time I work and what I do with the time I have left over. And "I'm too young to knit"? Aaarrggghhhh.....I can't even type an answer to that.
