On the other hand…

I’m not so sure crochet needs a “movement.”

The problem being, of course, that it’s very tough to keep the thing from devolving; these things tend to stop being for something and start being against something else very quickly, no matter how they get started or how hard folks work to try to keep them positive. They also seem to very rapidly start to consume each other from the inside, as various factions form and reform. It’s never long before a good-sized hunk of your group looks an awful lot like what you were trying to escape from in the first place.

People are funny.

    Funny enough, but in Houston (I think) the knitters have banded together to knit random things around the city. They’ve knitted around pillars, door handles, benches, … Basically, they are “tagging” with knitting, even leaving their names like “the knitta”. Yeah. My question: can’t they put it to better use, like, say, knitting blankets for the homeless or some such other nonsense!?!
