I knit and this kind of pissed me off. Seriously, what THREAT is it to the olympics if people knit while they watch? Not as if it's something unsavory, like the Drink Beer and Get Naked Olympics. (Hmm, that idea actually has MERIT.)0

Gee, I hope they dont think the Special Olympics undermines... whatever the hell they're trying to preserve.0
