Lace

When I was young I remember going to my Nonna’s, having dinner and then learning how to knit and crochet.  I couldn’t have been more than 10, but I got it.  To this day I still remember some stitches.  The only issue is I could never start a project, never learned the first stitches. Perhaps the internet can help with that?  My Nonna didn’t have the internet, she had knowledge based on folklore and traditions.  Now we get all this from the internet.  How sad is that?  No wonder the old are lonely, no one needs them to learn anymore.  At a click of a mouse all the information is there.  Our wise elders are now confused and skeptical of the technology of the word, leaving them behind.  I would be too, if when I was younger the telephone was something attached to the wall, with a cord and a rotary dial.  This would have been something only a few could afford.  Now phones are not phones at all, and we can check in on our Nonni without having to go see them in person for a knitting lesson.
