Good thing I was in an increasingly hipster part of town, so she kindly explained what knitting was to her daughter. But you could nevertheless hear a bit of confusion in her voice!<br><br>In any case, keep on knitting in public!

It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Knitting never ends.<br>(Taken from The Holy Stitchures, 1 Knitters 14:3-8.)<br><br>Unfortunately, the people who crossed your path that day didn't know the above quote.
