Knitting and Feminism Revisited

The local alternative press newspaper has a story this week about the knitting/crafting and feminism subject we discussed last month. It's an interesting read. I liked this statement from the article:

If being successful means devoting oneself solely to "man's work," then what does that say about women?

Speaking of women's work, I don't have much to show yet for my efforts. I'm putting together the June beaded knitting kits and knitting up samples. I think I've got everything figured out, but I'm debating one more sample with my final counts. It's probably not necessary, so I'll probably move on to my regular knitting.

I finished up "Curious Incident...". I really, really liked the book a lot. The first half I just adored. I found the narrator charming and funny and engaging. The second half I started to get annoyed with him and it got really depressing. I really can't imagine how difficult it must be to parent a child with autism. However, I thought it ended on a very positive note and while I don't require a happy ending, in this case, I quite enjoyed it. This is a quick little read and I highly recommend it to everyone.

Next I'm going to start our next Book Club selection, just so I can make sure I have it done on time:



We haven't read a graphic novel for Book Club yet, so I'm looking forward to switching things up a bit.
