Housewife

Somehow, people tend to believe that knitters are good homekeepers. Do they not realise that knitting time eats into our laundry and cooking time?

When I found these two magazines - Better Homes and Good Housekeeping - in an old drawer, what excited me was the thought that they might feature a vintage knitting pattern. Only later did I rush through a few recipees (the fast and easy macaroni and cheese among them) and leaf past the pages on everything "good," "better" or "housekeeping."

No knitting patterns, though. But a quilt competition and a how-to on needle point lace. The mags are up for grabs, free for readers in Bergen.
