The Edmonton Journal has a fine story about knitting's popularity.
"It's like Zen," says Eaton. "It's contemplative, rhythmic and comforting, and you end up with something wonderful at the end of the day." (Jil Eaton)
...
"Some 'crafty feminists,' like myself, are reclaiming what have been called the 'lost domestic arts,' ... Others are more interested in freeing themselves from a dependence on what they see to be an exploitative corporate culture. Still others ... figure they can learn to make fashionable items more cheaply than they can buy them." (Debbie Stoller)
The article even mentions knitting circles with a bent for social activism.
