I had an aunt who was into knitting for a while. She would knit ugly
sweaters for her soon. They usually didn't fit him, and he probably
didn't like them, so they would be passed on to me. I think I was
supposed to appreciate them more than I did.
When I was a kid woolen gloves and mitts were popular, probably more
popular among knitters than the kids who had to wear those useless
things. Make one snowball and the are wet and then dry funny and never
comfortable again.
