    • 7. The image of a knitter as an older woman sitting in a comfortable, old-fashioned living room with a basket of yarn at her feet and a bun in her hair is one of the past. As knitting continues to become more popular and increasingly trendy, it is much more difficult to describe the average knitter. Knitters today might be 18, 28, 40, or 65. They might live in a big urban center and take classes in a knit- ting shop that doubles as a café or they may gather in suburban coffee shops to support one another in knitting and other aspects of life. They could be college roommates knitting in their dorm room or two senior citizens knitting in a church hall. Even men are getting in the act. It would be incredibly difficult to come up with an accurate profile of a contemporary knitter to replace that image of the old woman with the basket of yarn!
      This paragraph best supports the statement that

    • Options
    • A. people are returning to knitting in an attempt to reconnect with simpler times.
    • B. knitting is now more of a group activity, as opposed to an individual hobby.
    • C. creating an accurate profile of a particular type of person depends on the people in this group having traits and characteristics in common.
    • D. today's knitters are much less accomplished than knitters of the past.
    • E. young people are turning to knitting in record numbers.
