I've just received this on email as I run a local knitting group:
"I am researching for a documentary on women in Britain. I have read alot about knitting groups taking off in the UK and it sounds like alot of fun! I would very much like to speak to women who either stay at home to look after their husband/family or women who don't have to work and basically spend their days having lots of fun! We would be very interested in filming at a knitting group if we can find someone who would enjoy spending a day being filmed because each programme will focus on activities through one person."
My first reaction was - What planet is this woman on!!!!
"spend their days having lots of fun!"
Most women I know (myself included) work either full or part time, run around taking/collecting kids to/from school, shopping, housework etc etc. For me knitting is how I relax at the end of the day after all that - not my sole activity - I wish it were!
I've forwarded it on to the other members of 'In Stitches' & so far no takers. How surprising.

My word - I agree - what planet is that woman on !! I too wish I could spend the day knitting and "having fun" unfortunately I think we would drown in a sea of ironing, while sneezing our heads off from dust if I did - ho hum - when I win the lottery and can afford "staff" all will change !!! Well I can dream can't I ?
Hmm.. I can't quite decide if the vacuuming, the washing, the dishes or the bathroom cleaning is the most fun. I know! They can come film me cleaning the toilet! All fun, all the time, LOL!
