Knit away So the good male members of Conwy council are offended,shocked even, by a woman member knitting during a budget debate on Zoom. They said it held the council in disrepect. Rachel Garrick said she was taking part in the debate and rather than a distraction her knitting was important as it helped her concentrate and avoid pain. I am surprised the council have not been accused of anti feminism. There is nohing new about knitting councillors. Many years ago when I reported Caerphilly concil all seven women out of seventeen members were assidous kniters expert, wih jumpers pouring off what seemed to be an industrial production line. No-one complained.
