Velma's World

Much Ado About Nothing

The furor about The Article is dying down, due in no small part to the pooh-poohing of notable knitbloggers Joe and Marilyn, et al. Last night, I set myself to the task of linking to all the web community responses to her piece, assuming (as most of us do, probably) that everyone else would obviously feel the same as I do on the subject; namely, righteous indignation. Well, although I have exhausted my attention span for checking all the sites before making it through even half of the 226 blogs in the knitting bloggers webring, I have come to several conclusions:

1. Not everyone subscribes to the Velma Way of Looking at the World (duh!);

2. Most knitbloggers seem to think she isn't worth the trouble to be offended;

3. Kerstin of At My Knit's End had the funniest riposte: a 'Pin the Tail on Tanya' game!

So if you aren't already completely bored to tears by the whole thing, the links below are to others in the 'ring who've posted about the subject. It is by no means an exhaustive list, as I said. Feel free to let me know who I've left out.
