April 6, 2006 China Post #2: Knitting, knitting everywhere

It's amazing how you see knitting everywhere, once you start becoming obsessed yourself. As our tour bus was driving through Beijing I spotted this young woman knitting something big and orange while sitting on the curb. Another instance of "knitting-spotting" happened as we were pulling up to the Sacred Way of the Ming Tombs. Of course vendors are everwhere, but there were some women waiting for tourists to come by and were wiling away the time by knitting. I wanted to get a photo, but they quickly squirreled away their knitting when they saw us coming.
