its so nice to hear someone who has never knit a stitch ... state with confidence 'stitch and bitch groups' are not about radical knitting.

Sorry, Of Troy. I confess I did say "Stitch and bitch" is probably a misnomer" but I didn't say "probably" with a whole lot of confidence.

The program director and CBC radio reporter interviewing "Castaway" knitters in London evidently thought this was a new trend so I guess I was trading on their confidence, not my own, Of Troy.

Just goes to prove you can't believe everything you pick up in the media. Thanks for straightening me out.

re "if you are interested in knitting, go to a knitting BB. or at least post in a more appropriate area"

I thought the word "radical" describing "knitting" was a new twist on an old yarn, but maybe I should have put this post in "Miscellany" or maybe in "AWAD in Schools".

I'll try to stick to my own knitting in the future, Of Troy. [Now there's a purl of wisdom. Maybe I've learned a stitch about knitting after all. :) ]
