People often ask if I would do it for money, and the answer is always a definite no. In the first place, you could not pay me though for the hours I put into a sweater. But more important, this is an activity I keep separate from such considerations. I knit to cover my children and other people I love in warmth and color. I knit to give them something earthly that money could never buy.

　　Knitting gives me life an alternative rhythm to the daily deadline. By day I can write about Northern Ireland or the New York City Police Department and get paid for it, but on the train home, surrounded by people with laptops, I stage my little rebellion. I take out my old knitting bag and join the centuries of women who have knitted for love.

　　1. Which of the following reasons does NOT explain the fact that Knitting was no longer a skill worth passing down from mother to daughter?

　　D) The introduction of domestic devices.

　　2.At what time did the author wear the stocks her grandmother had knitted for her?
