No one wanks as hard as knitters do. Except maybe spinners.
Blogger Sharon Pelletier writes a satirical post about a local spinning event at her library.

Not everyone is impressed.

At this point, I don't feel that you are a decent person because you failed in being mature enough to go outside your comfort zone, and instead chose to call names.

Though there is still some disagreement in the ranks:

Knitting "networking" sites like Ravelry have congealed knitters into a writhing, slimy glob of Bitch that ooze across the internet wielding knitting needles and a smug sense of superiority.

76 mostly angry comments later, she posts a follow-up explaining that no, she was trying to be funny, she does not think PETA needed to be informed, and she really does not think spinners are witches, either.

Reaction so far is mostly positive, though you never know with knitters, spinners and even those rebellious crocheters.

ETA a verb. Verbs are important.

Ravelry Rubberneckers = for all your wank-viewing needs. Alas, we can't mention a lot of things by name, but we still have a lot of fun.

Remnants is usually where the worst of it is, and sometimes the Conservative groups. Oh, and the yarn swaps go wrong with amusing regularity.

Rubberneckers for the win, DAN. (::hi-5's::)

There's also Big Issues Debate, but the best wanks tend to come from boards like Patterns and Techniques because when they go wrong there, it's for almost no reason at all.

Or people who want to do random things like renaming the lace stitch. ::hi-5 back!::
