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.

Actually, do I count the cost of prescription glasses and fancy-smancy lightbulbs in with the supplies? 'Cause if I do Hardanger for too long in the wrong light I go cross-eyed.

And yet my 70 yr old grandma with arthritis and cataracts still does it prettier than me. :(

I don't count the fancy lightbulbs in my cost... it's part of doing business! And, of course, your grandma has been doing it much longer, probably doing it by feel. Hardanger scares me - cut my fabric? What? WHY!!!
