Oh for farks sake. I'm so tired of knitting being conisdered something that grannies or feminists do. I knit and I'm neither. How about people knit because it's a relaxing hobby that gives you cool stuff to wear when you're finished? Most of these "artists" are just people who have decided to use knitting because it's in vogue right now. If it wasn't knitting it would be something else. It's not about knitting to them; just another way to be an AW.

"The city's historic public toilets hold a special place in feminists' hearts."

I stopped reading right there.

I see we're working on a knitting thread trifecta.
Hi Tachi!

astrahl: You don't know love until you've slid your feet into a pair of beautiful hand knitted socks or wrapped yourself up in a luxurious hand knit scarf. Given the negative attitude of many of you towards knitting, you will never know.

What? People always told me you'd never know love until you looked your own children in the eyes. Now you're telling me I need hand knitted apparel? Does that mean the kid was worthless? Can I give him back? He's only slightly used. I still have the original packaging, but I'm no good at making it look like it was never opened.
