Hi friends, Turns out that Margaret Atwood isn't just a writer, poet, Canadian cultural icon and library-saver: she's also a knitter. (Of course she is: that just makes her more awesome.) Check out this article (or this one) about the knitted great auk she contributed to an exhibition called Ghosts of Gone Birds. Neat! And if you'd like to hear an interview with the great lady herself, she was interviewed on CBC's As It Happens last night. Click through and scroll down to listen to her interview – it's in the second hour of the show. (Don't you think she'd be a hoot at a stitch'n'bitch? I sure do! Ms. Atwood, consider yourself invited.)
