This week we're indulging in a current affairs panel TV style format... without the panel. It's just me and three recent knitting related stories that have come to my attention and some thoughts on all of them.
First up there is the story from Dundee of a woman given
knitting as a punishment for a road rage related assault. Adamant
she was a keen knitter, and that punching a woman in the face was
just a momentary old of control before heading into The Knitting
Pin, she was tasked with providing 'not a meagre amount' of
knitting for charity before December.
Warning - I get a bit cross about this.
Then we have an excellent example of using local resources to
overcome service gaps by the Faroese, who have strapped 360 degree
cameras to five sheep in an attempt to encourage Google to agree to
come and map the place properly for them. You can get a sheep's
back view of the Faroes via videos uploaded by the local tourist
board. This is magnificent.
Finally we have unexpected fifteen minutes of fame for DyeForYarn,
our German friends Nicole and Cordula, who attracted considerable
attention his week due to their quirky choices of yarn names. The
mugs didn't get it.
