I thought I was done with knitting. So done that much of my collection of 'fancy knitting yarns' are now for sale in my shop along with a good many knitting books and magazines. I made the decision to 'NotKnit' when realizing I am better and faster at crochet. To further justify giving up knitting and selling off knitting stuff, I was patting myself on the back for downsizing the 'YarnArama' stash, emptying several shelves of books and magazines, and saving myself from 'Boomer Gloom and Doom'.
I am here to tell you that 'Boomer Gloom and Doom' is a real thing when you know your children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews and friends not of 'Boomer Age' DO NOT want your 'Knit Picks' or any other Pickings you have saved and treasured for....well, forever!
It's true, and I am not the only one on the planet who is facing the reality of my 'Stuff' being dismissed as Garge Sale Fodder, Craigs List Crap or even worse...Dumpster Divers Dregs!
Here I am a Boomer with Bunches, and what do I do to put off the impending Boomer G&D?
I take up knitting....again!
