Getting it

Newspaper articles about knitting seem to be fairly common--my search for them helps plug days like this when I'm short on things to say--but many of them tend to be a little agog that people still do it.

This article has a better grasp on what brings people to knit and what they receive from doing it. The writer gets it, which makes me wonder if she is a knitter herself. I wouldn't say that non-knitters are unable to understand what the attraction is, but their pieces tend to be more flippant about the craft.
