So many weird and wonderful misperceptions about knitters!

I started knitting very young and so I often got “You don’t look like a knitter”. I guess the Doc Martens and blue hair threw people a little!

Here’s a great piece about how knitters and knitting are represented in the media. Some more weird than wonderful. Now if I ever come across the gal in Doc’s on her way home from the ballet studio sitting at the back of the bus knitting a union jack blanket… I’ll know that’s representative! 😉

Clicking the photo will take you to Buzzfeed’s “How To Knit – According To (Ridiculous) Stock Photos”

Prepare for a coffee snort!
