Folks knit in Ireland! I've found them in a variety of places. I don't know how else to get it to her--Alison, can you help? I can strongly recommend this town in Ireland, Graiguenamanagh: http://www.booktownireland.com/ It has a great book festival AND is the home of Cushendale Woollen Mills. They make Irish wool yarns. It is imported to the USA under the Black Water Abbey label. Here's the link to their site: http://www.cushendale.ie/main_page.html They'll give you a tour of the machines, and the yarn is definitely worth a visit! I agree with the Snort. People still knit. Everywhere! Well, I have choice words about the “nobody knits” comment, but this note is for Paula. Folks knit in Ireland! I’ve found them in a variety of places.

(as long as his wife enjoys the scarf--who cares what he thinks, we all know he is wrong) Bad Alison going out and buying a scarf and pretending you knit it—-give that man a membership to Ravelry and see how many of us nobodies are out there!!!

Then have a Knit in at the church after services with spousal units, muggles included, invited to be spectators. Wonder if that would clue him in Esp if most of the members stayed and cast on :-) I agree…Teach her to knit.

Even I can knit! Alison smocks!! She also designs knitting patterns. I can knit without a specific written pattern if it's made of flat pieces and I have an item in front of me to copy. But I don't do anything fancy with the pieces. I don't design things! Telling Alison that nobody knits is like accusing the pope of not being catholic, or accusing the president of not being a politician, or saying that chocolate is not a basic food group. Good grief.

Her husband? Has clearly not had people in his life who gifted him with handcrafted things, made with love just for him. Isn't that kind of sad? Oh, I hope that young woman does learn. Her husband?
