I am a
contradiction
 |
| yin and yang |
Although I
am no longer a young woman ~ I certainly
don’t feel old !
I like to
keep up-to-date: I am interested in music and fashion,
I have
embraced the ‘modern’ world of technology
~
I had one of
the first gameboys when they were considered to be the a teenager’s craze !
I worked out
how to do the facebook thing when it was in it’s early days - and surprised my teenage daughters by sending
a friend request.
I love ebay,
craft forums, ravelry , pinterest & blogging. Who doesn’t ?
And yet ……….
And yet I
love beautiful old vintage things too.
They are
sometimes shabby and worn with use – but they are often lovely still - in my
eyes.
I have a collection
of knitting pattern leaflets from the 1950s and 1960s onwards.
I love them –
I love looking at the style of the photos and although they were designed to be
made in classic white and pastel colours many of them still look good today.
One of my
particular favourite ‘oldies’ is this one ~
It has a shop inkstamp for 1979.
I have knitted this little cardigan for a multitude of new arrivals and I never grow tired of making it.

The style may well be from decades past but it still stands up well to the test of time.

Yin and yang are complementary, not opposing, forces.
There is a place for the old as well as for the new
What 'old favourites' do you have ?
