How to Knit Your Life

I talked to Gail, who created the Weardowney label. She told me all about how she started her business and why. I’m going to take a knitting class with her next week. She makes beautiful things – dresses, skirts, sweaters and accessories. I don’t dare look how expensive they are, especially when she told me how long it takes to make one garment (nearly two weeks!). You can check out her Web site (www.weardowney.com). She’s a very classy lady. We talked about how growing older gives you a much clearer perspective on life, much more confidence and less fear about others’ perceptions of you. We both agreed we’d never want to go back to our twenties. “The only benefit from that age is physical,” she says, “which is so much less than you get when you really start knowing and understanding who you are.”
