T-Mobile hates knitters.

It's true. Check it out:



This is a screengrab from my browser, so you can't actually vote and take out your anger on the fruitcake. Sorry about that.

Photos of a finished hat tomorrow if the sun decides to come out.

I will now pretend that this is why I don't have T-Mobile. It's a boycott! A boycott, I say!

Crap...I wish I could say that I didn't support that conglomerate knit-hating devil, but I do. But only because my boyfriend insists that I have a cell phone...he's pretty much the only one who calls me. It's all about function. Damn corporate devils and their convenient gadgetry.

That marks the first moment ever I've been happy to be a Sprint PCS customer.

Just goes to show the evil power of that old Aunt Myrtle myth...I think the best thing we can do to counteract it is to make, wear, and give away lots of incredibly gorgeous, enviable handknits. It's a campaign! Forward march!

Oh my GAWD!!! What type of coporate evil concocted such an anti-knitting campaign??? I'm in total shock. Clearly the CEO of T-Mobile has never ever been spoiled with knitterly goodness. I need to write a letter!

1. I'm doubly offended. I make a splendid rich fruit cake, drenched in whisky.

2. Could they not think of three properly different things?

3. It's particularly nasty that they're singling out homemade stuff to sneer at. "Remember girls, nothing YOU make could possibly make anyone happy!" is the message. Graagh.

how dare they!

an ad exec with knitter ex-girlfriend I suspect...

there is a beer ad in the UK which currently compares balls of wool to bowling balls.
