I remember the Daisy song! It becomes very apropos when combined with your Tour knitting theme. I can’t wait to see the jacket take shape!

P.S. I love the quotes. Susan B. is totally one of my heroes.

i learned that song when i was a young girl. my grandmother bought me a little organ where the keys were numbered, with green stamps. One of the books she’d bought was “songs of the gay 90s.” you’d be correct in assuming itwasn’t the 1990’s, lol. just looking at your post brought back the memory of my grandmother singing it (she’s been gone for 17 years).

thanks,sarah

I remember singing Daisy Daisy in the 4th grade. My teacher liked to start each day with singing, so the entire class would sing songs like that and Kumbaya. It was a nice counterpoint to singing along with Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd with my family.

I love the daisy stitch. I can’t wait to see what you come up with. I also love Louet yarns – and their linen yarns in particular. So all in all, I can’t wait

And I’m glad I live in this century. There’s still a long way to go of course, but it’s easy to forget how constricted a woman’s life was and how hard the women who proceeded us fought to attain equality and respect.

I’m very excited to see your design! I’ve been working on my own lately, too, though it’s still in the very early planning stages.

Women and cycling really is fascinating. The New Women in Victorian England would smoke cigarettes, cut their hair short, and (gasp!) wear pants so they could (double gasp!) ride bicycles. So great.
