San Diego CityBeat – “The Knitters”

by Vi White, A profile of my knitting group, 2006:
When one of the oldest of old-school trends reared its warm and woolly head in 2000, no one was ready for the swarms of hot urban goddesses, tatted arms swinging and tattered Pumas, Fluevogs and Chucks keepin’ rhythm to the clicks of the needles, the sway of the conversation and the chill indie noise.
Whether it’s a take-it-back feminist bent, a throwback to what your foremothers taught ya, or just a way to keep your fingers busy and your neck warm, knitting groups have popped up across urban landscapes in almost every shape and form. So what else is there for these quietly creative, urban trendistas to do but pick up some yarn and get to it?
