This just in “Law reinforces common sense”. That really is news.

oh good. maybe they will get rid of that tacky ‘men with balls’ knitting forum in the ‘stitch and bitch [non-knitting?] cafe’.

so sad it took so long to come to a what would appear to be a common sense kind of conclusion (full circle?).

good luck with your next pattern.

Does this mean that groups (still?) need to get Deb Stoller’s permission before they start selling t-shirts, etc. with “stitch and bitch” on them?

well, that tears it. Sew Fast, Sew Easy is permanently off my list forthis crap (not that they weren’t before). wonder if cafe press will allow the phrase “stitch and bitch” now?

wait…am i the only one who caught the important part? vice president gregory garvin? they are just handing out titles like candy over there, now aren’t they?

in all seriousness though, i wonder what all this means for the groups? although i’m sure most of them have had the names changed for so long it would be as much of a pain to go back to using them.

AT FREAKING LAST!

I still don’t like SFSE for being such jerks about it in the first place. They SO did not use that term first. I remember a guy at my church talking about his wife’s Stitch & Bitch group (as in, from when he was young), and I haven’t set foot in a church in 15 years. Which means I probably heard it 20 years ago.

Geez, couldn’t they have figured that out over a beer two years ago, instead of engaging in a lengthy and expensive legal pissing match engendering all sorts of mockery and bad publicity?

Now all we’ve got is the cashmerino debacle and She Who Will Not Be Named But Apparently Will Be Reprinted.

My first response was to laugh, but then I paused to wonder how much both parties had to pay in legal fees to reach this obvious conclusion.

Well, as long as they didn’t drag it out, or anything…
