I hate seasons. How do you feel about history?

Hawaii really doesn't have seasons. Summer and February, those are the seasons, the joke runs. (February in Hawaii is pretty damn cold, considering most houses don't have heating units in them.) I got used to two-degree (one degree in celsius) temperature changes and feeling it when the wind shifted out of the southwest. Now I live in a place where the temperature can shift thirty degrees in a day, easy, and the average temperatures between summer and winter are fifty degrees apart. My body's response to this is pretty predictable; killer sinus migraines and every joint in my body hurting. The husbeast's in bad shape too.

Let's have some cheese with this whine.

ANYway, while slugging back hot tea and pills all night, I've been brooding over the history of knitting and why I hate knitting historians. Is anyone interested in hearing it, or would I just bore everyone?

Comments? Threats? Return complaints about your own weather?

I love seasons (except summer, I hate the heat). Tell us about the history!

I'm sure your dislike of knitting historians has nothing to do with how some of the most popular knitting "history" is complete myths. And weather, I moved to NJ to get away from the snow and cold in VT. I like winters in the 40s.

I love my Michigan weather. Love it or hate it, there is always something to say about it.

And me and the Historic Knit list, we lo-o-ove knitting history.

I have the exact opposite reaction to our weather, I think the Charleston fall is usually crappy because it's TOO damn hot. I've been loving these last few days. Daughter and I have been able to actually wear some of my hand knits! Oh, and bring on the knitting history.

I'm a member of the historic knits list too. Their knowledge of arcane details boggles my mind. They're really impressive.

Would love to hear a rant on that--I think knitting history could be soooooooo interesting, but it never seems to be presented that way...
