(When I'm 23 and clearly not a grandmother). Knitting gods, save us from stereotypes!

I am part Cherokee, and while this one doesn't bother me, it is almost as bad as the Indian crying over the trash ads in the 70's. As for being a blue hair....even when I am old enough to be the blue hair I hope I don't look like I've let myself go.... As for public comments....I just ask the offender if they ever purchased a sweater at a store or a pair of socks and when they say yes, I simply state, "How do you knwo that I didn't design that?" and they are usually too embarrased to say anything else....

On the other hand, showing it does remind us what advertisers used to do. It's such a ridiculous image! I love your answer to people who make the "grannies knit" comments.
