		<description><![CDATA[There are some things I&#8217;ve written in bits and pieces to others about publishers and publishing contracts and whether it&#8217;s worth it for an author of hand knitting patterns (or rather, the designer and pattern writer, since these roles are frequently combined) to self-publish, or publish through a third party. I figured it was time [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Leigh Witchel did some investigating for his article in the most recent knit.1, looking for the first knitting blog. And what happened? Nobody owned up to having posted a knitting journal entry before me (March 19, 2001). Me! Surely that&#8217;s impossible (Leigh was specifically looking for knitting blogs/journals, not just knitting websites). 
As he writes, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[They will fight using trademarks, and they will fight using t-shirts?
I confess that because of the early hour I don&#8217;t know what to think. It would make sense as some kind of third-party guerrilla tactics designed to lower the brand&#8217;s value, because otherwise it seems like a misguided attempt by the company to have a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I set out to write about ease, I decided to survey a small number of books in my knitting library to see what they had to say on the subject of &#8220;average&#8221; or &#8220;typical&#8221; ease when designing a hand knit garment; specifically, how they translated actual body measurement to garment dimensions.

1. Another extension of time in the cancellation proceedings.  The &#8220;remember I said?&#8221; schtick has officially overstayed its welcome, so let&#8217;s just check back on October 13, 2007.
