Kindred Spirits

"Miss Patty and Miss Maria are hardly such stuff as dreams are made of," laughed Anne. "Can you fancy them 'globe-trotting' - especially in those shawls and caps?"
"I suppose they'll take them off when they really begin to trot," said Priscilla, "but I know they'll take their knitting with them everywhere. They simply couldn't be parted from it. They will walk about Westminster Abbey and knit, I feel sure."

And those of us who take our knitting with us everywhere totally understand :)

Just read this in Anne of the Island, speaking of Miss Patty and Miss Maria: "Fancy those two dames 'running over Egypt'! I wonder if they'll look up a the Sphinx and knit"...
