one thing i love about the "third wave" is the return to traditional crafts. my personal fave of all of these is probably (at least at the moment) knitting. i love knitting. i like knitting scarves and washcloths, loved the first time i knit something in the round, and adored this one baby hat i made so much that i think i might need to make a million more of 'em (so if you ever have a baby, lemme know because i need babies to knit hats for). one can knit just about anywhere, which makes it the most perfect craft ever. i have knit in just about as many places as i have nursed my son, which is saying a lot. i love the knitted tree at severence center, outside the cleveland heights town hall, which i like to refer to as a "tree cozy." this is why i so much love the graffiti knitting movement. it's awesome, and most importantly combines my love of all things radical, subversive, and stockinette stitched.
