>>On page 35 is a picture in black and white, showing one man and some women, most of them with their knitting in the hands. Except that nobody would ever be posing for such a photograph these days, displaying this kind of spare time activity<<
The knitting was done in their spare time. Or, they might be professonal knitters, who did nothing but knit. I have a friend who always has knitting in her hands, or easy to get her hands on. There are people who are almost fanatics about knitting. Take away their knitting needles, and they start to foam at the mouth. wrnk d2 To stop mail temporarily mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: set nomail To restore send: set mail
