So I do think there is something to the thesis, that women in rock to some extent have to deny their gender or at least downplay it and be "just as good as a man". Just my opinion, Marion in Sweden 2012/9/19 David Lahm > Mitchell denies her womanhood and wants to be perceived as genderless or > masculine? > > give me an f....ing break!

You really know the details......purl, garter stitch, etc. That renders me clueless! You would find this interesting. I noticed awhile ago, and was able to find it again, a post from Ed: "....... On the way, Joni spied a string of Shattuck Street stores that had boxes of lace borders and collars, which she enjoyed sifting through." http://jonimitchell.com/chronology/detail.cfm?id=1226 That clues me in that she sewed her own clothes as well. I've just always been fascinated by her clothing.........and her knits/crocheted's in particular. Laura P.S. Here's some interesting knitting trivia I ran across. Did you know that Linda Ronstadt was a knitter? http://www.pinreach.com/pin/271060471292075547 There are quite a few musicians that knit........maybe, like you said, as a stress reliever.

The pink dress she wore at the fabulous BBC show had a crocheted inset and im sure it was handmade ... she also sewed a lot of her own clothes. I would love to pick her brain about which items she sewed.herself ... One clue about her expertise knitting ... She said in the pwwm show that she didnt purl so everything she knit looked like chainmail (garter stitch). This indicates pretty basic knitting skills. She probably knits for the same reason I do ... Stress reduction ... She was obviously trying to ward off cold turkey! ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2012 #306 ********************************* ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here:mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:onlyjoni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe
