19. Nobody seems to want to learn, either
How to knit, I mean.

I learned at the age of ten, from my grandmother (I'm 58 now)...was just telling someone yesterday that one of the joys of knowing how to do something is sharing it with others...teaching it to someone else.

Sadly, nobody I know wants to learn how to knit. It's like nobody has time anymore...
