Needles


Was knitting on the train to Seoul. A vendor got on my car selling various things like fanny packs, gloves with special material on the tips that work on smartphone screens, and packs of sewing needles.  He didn’t have anything I needed, so I didn’t pay him any attention.  Then the ajeossi seated beside me bought a pack and presented it to me with a big smile.  I guess he figured that if I knit, I must also sew.  I was so touched. 

When I got home I put them with my craft stuff and didn’t think about them again for more than a year.  Then, after binge watching dozens of quilting videos, I took one out of the package and discovered that they were specially designed to be easier to thread.  Kamsahamnida, ajeossi!
