After reading my last post, my wife told me that her memory of my learning to knit differs from mine. As she recalls it, we both felt that our son should have a pair of booties to wear after he was born, but that she did not want to knit them because to do so would conform to too many gender stereotypes. Since I wanted to learn to knit anyway, we decided that I'd be the one to make the booties. Therefore, contrary to what I wrote in my last post, I knit the booties and then knit a hat. Meanwhile, after seeing the booties that I had made, my wife decided to knit a pair too.
The actual story of my learning to knit undoubtedly lies somewhere between my recollection and my wife's. I tend to think my wife's recollection is closer to the truth.
