My girlfriend and I were looking at one of her knitting books, and there were a bunch of sweaters. We were casually looking at them, and then she told me how there's this old wive's tale about if you knit a sweater for your partner, then you two are bound to break up. She then said that it's kind of true because unless one is a knitter, no one ever appreciates how much time, work, and effort it requires to hand knit a sweater.
Anyway, your article reminded me of this conversation, and that it's really important to appreciate the work of others, even if you don't understand it.
Hey Andy! Thanks for taking the time to read my article and sharing your story. Glad she hasn't knitted you a sweater. And if she does, I'm sure you'll appreciate the work that goes into it :)
I think it's easy to forget that a lot of the things we use actually has a human story behind it. Sometimes need to take a moment to step back and realize this.
