I would be bothered by the word hobby, too. It's got a pat-you-on-the-head feeling to it. To me, hobby feels like saying, "oh, isn't that cute or quaint, what you're doing there." You also addressed the money issue in your show, which I think might be a common connotation to the word; there's what you do professionally, and the rest is hobby.
ReplyDeleteYep! That's it! It's the head-pat part that gets me. I'm also reading a book that discusses the art vs craft debate...it's hard to decide where knitting fits, isn't it. Somehow with painting, it's easier to say "work of art" but with knitting...
