Also only one hand moved, the way many do it now with two moving hands was introduced when knitting was taken up by the upper classes in the 19th century, since it looked more decorative.<br /><br />Butit looks a bit silly in this ad, yes.Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04991158901359984541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3370970170301288861.post-23889740914808961222011-10-19T18:22:48.572-07:002011-10-19T18:22:48.572-07:00Who knits standing up?

And now when I look back at the pictures of us, we weren't fat either, just like those girls in the advertisement. Wouldn't it be nice if manufacturers just offered sizes without having to editorialize about the size of the wearers? Let's face it we all know if you wear a size above 16 you aren't exactly slim. Do we really need to be told it's a "plus" size?Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851312702044308420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3370970170301288861.post-90457489027113417022011-10-18T07:17:00.612-07:002011-10-18T07:17:00.612-07:00Because they really look like heavy girls!
