This is a call for a dynamic, new direction for knitting!
Lay down the eyeleash yarn and giant needles and pick up a project that's thoughtful, elegant and odd.
Reclaim knitting! it is a noble craft. It is NOT the new yoga. Repetitive and unthinking motions will kill the soul. Knitting is creating.
Down with simple and boring! Up with thoughtful and complex!
Shatter the present. Create the future. Stitch by stitch we can and will change the world. The revolution is at hand and knitting needles are the only weapons you'll need. Stop making scarves; start making trouble.
Consume less. Create more. Knitting is politcal. BEGIN IMMEDIATELY.
