I went to the LYS today to look at Amy Singer’s Knit Wit book. It’s gotten some lackluster reviews on Craftster (see this thread), and I wanted to look through it to see if there’s anything redeeming (besides Erica Mulherin’s illustrations, of course). The yarn store ladies had no idea what I was talking about. They had never even heard of Knitty before. I had to spell it for them. How out of touch can you be? One of them said that she “doesn’t do that whole web thing.” You would think some other person coming in the store besides me would’ve mentioned Knitty. It just seems so bizarre, like I inhabit a parallel knitting universe.
