I think this might mean I am a bit sad
Feb. 13th, 2007 10:54 pmHaving had it recommended by the good
phonemonkey, I purchased the latest issues of Interweave Piecework - and I am very, very impressed.
I love the articles and the patterns, but what most impressed me was that they assume the readers are intelligent. The particular comment that made my day, was where Nancy Bush described two-ended knitting as producing a fabric unlike those made by other traditional techniques, such as ordinary knitting, and naalbinding [emphasis mine]. I was just so delighted that they assumed their readership would either know what it was, or have the gumption to look it up.
Not to mention I am still sad enough to be impressed when someone outside of re-enactment has heard of naalbinding, although I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that Nancy Bush has.
So, there you go. I am sad.
