Aaah. It is so comforting seeing knitting. Reminds me of watching my Mum go clickety click with the needles.
The knitting shown here is the lovely work of Jessica from i make stuff
It seems the homey image of knitting is under some contestation though, with crafty people,as seen in yesterday's post using names like 'Stitch n Bitch' or 'Yarn Harlot' for their sites. Please note how Yarn Harlot (who had 78 comments today), has just delivered the manuscript of her novel, and that 'And she Knits too' has a link to her PhD from her blog.
Knitters are not necessarily knitWits.
And see how Les Tricoteuses sans frontiers have raised thousands of dollars for Tsunami victims.
Moreover the Crafts Council can talk of CONCEPT KNITTING. I am not sure what the concept is but I am keen on the idea of a knitted television .

But anyway shoppers, I like this business site with the lovely clothes and homey feel.
