>The listservs are ablaze this morning with talk about a children’s knitting club being banned from the library. I’m guessing the ban will be lifted by the end of the day; meanwhile, I sure wish I could knit–it would be great to make myself useful while watching the synchronized diving, and, since we’re currently reviewing Christmas and other winter holiday books, I’m lusting for a nice black cashmere scarf. (Um, is cashmere knit?)

And, the Yarn Harlot isn’t sure that this isn’t all a tempest in a teapot…interesting!
