Unbelievable!

There are certain aspects of technology that I find almost unbelievable...

(How could that possibly happen??)

The other day, for example, I was reading some emails - including one from Pinterest, suggesting certain things that I might be interested in.

And they were right! I was drawn to the red vest / shawl in the middle right of the top photo. 

I tapped on the image to find out if there was a pattern available for it... and was transported to a similar knit vest... which did have a pattern for sale...

Which is why, after thinking about it for a day, I purchased the pattern online, downloaded it to my phone, and immediately printed the pattern on my basement printer.

As I sat nearby, watching the printer spew out the pattern pages - in colour - I thought: I don't believe this is happening! How is this possible?!

In a matter of minutes, I went from

  • a picture in an email to 
  • an online purchase from a pattern designer in Colorado to 
  • a pattern downloaded to my phone to 
  • a printed copy (in colour) - in my hand. 
It honestly felt surreal! (And the picture quality is amazing!)


What would my mother or my grandmother have thought had they been here to witness what had just happened?!

And - to tell the truth - I'm dumbfounded and  amazed as well!
