Boycott the bully – So fast so easy uses aggressive legal tactics to bully small, social knitting chapters nationwide over the use of the term “Stitch and Bitch” or any variant of those three words. Go visit the the free to stitch free to bitch website to find out more. (thanks scout’s knitted swag for the link.)
just read a great post on the craftster blog about this topic with some good info insights into the situation.
Be on knitty gritty – your opportunity to knit on TV – “Knitty Gritty is looking for fun and charismatic knitters to appear on the show.

Hi – This is the first I’ve read about the Stitch and Bitch
issue and I am very surprised. The first time I ever heard of the term Stitch and Bitch was when I lived in a small town in Minnesota. One of my neighbors was a nurse in St. Paul MN and she and her co-workers at the hospital met weekly for a cross stitch club which they had aptly named ‘Stitch and Bitch’. The year was 1974. Thanks for the information; I
will definitely support the boycott.

I am looking for the instructions for these pants they are so adoreable. I am knitting a gift basket for my pastor and his wife and their new addition to the family.
