6. What inspired you to check out the knitters?

And do they knit for democracy? :hug:

7. Hi, Rev. I can't answer for OR, but the KnittaPlease crew here

are very usual. They primarily hang out in the Montrose area of Houston, so I would say they're probably Democrats and probably already know about DU. Just a guess. I asked to join up with them after reading a great news article cause I sooo wanted to be a subversive knitter, but they politely declined, a tight-knight group so to speak.

8. We have a knitter's group here at one of my churches.

But all they do is make sweaters for needy children all over the world.
You're welcome to come and join them, if you'd like. :)

10. What a wonderful idea your group has, and thanks for the

invitation. I may never make it up to Wisconsin, but maybe I can send something for your group this year.

9. Sorta, I guess

Silliness is democratic, huh?

I got a friend who knits. She showed me the site in the OP to get me over the idea that knitting's all about tea cozys and stuff.

11. That's right, OR. Knitting isn't just for grannies anymore!

Saw a man's personal ad looking for older women but they had to be "fit, trim, atheletic....NO knitters, please." Hmpfffff

12. I wonder if they take measurements before knitting.

13. i worked with about 30 women

when i was younger and this was the big hit at every christmas--knitted penis warmers for some of their husbands..dirty old ladies...

14. Um, ok

I'd seen cozies for dildoes before, but cozies for a penis? :wtf:
