One score and ten years ago, our foremothers suffered under the tyranny of acrylic.
Today we are free to pursue the happiness of merino (and alpaca, and cashmere, and BFL, and tanguis, and silk, and…)
And so, I say unto you, my fellow American knitters, go forth and celebrate your independence! I know I am. =D And if you have a free moment, Franklin would like you to read the Declaration. Sit down, John, and open up a window, and we’ll all hang together today. And the rest of you…well, happy Sunday!
