• What's the Deal?

  May I ask whence the recent proliferation of crude knitting books?
  
  I mean, I'm all down with this:
  
  
  
  
  It's sweet and lovely and if you want a knitted babydoll with garter, you can do it.
  
  But, uh, Domiknitrix: Whip Your Knitting into Shape?
  And, uh, Naughty Needles: Sexy, Saucy Knits for the Bedroom and Beyond?
  And, my personal favorite, Knitting With Balls: A Hands-On Guide to Knitting for the Modern Man, with an appropriately suggestive cover.
  
  I, personally, refuse to buy any knitting book from now on, unless it is titled "Classy But Not Frumpy: Look Like an Adult, Just Not Your Great-Aunt Gertrude," or "Knit Like a Grown-Up: How to Leave Stupid, Trendy, and Faux-Hooker Styles Behind You."
