\n (and not just of our stories) and once created designs for a company
\n named "Crewel and Unusual."<\/em><\/p>\n

The NY Times has a related article on how knitting is making a comeback
\n among younger Americans. Unfortunately, its hard to blog and knit at

\n ‘n Ride" cars out of Oakland for people who prefer the click of
\n needles to the buzz of cellphones.<\/p>\n
