The Swatch Thickens

Voldemort the sewing company posted an open letter to the members of the sewing, knitting, and crochet community, in which they attempt to gain people’s favor by writing poorly and defaming Debbie Stoller. Details are available at girl from auntie.
Let’s just say that any doubts I had about their “marketing” “manager” being a complete hack are pretty much erased at this point, since I’m pretty sure that Using Spellcheck is covered on Day 1 of business school and Not Posting Un-Proofread, Potentially Libelous Rants About Your Legal Adversaries is covered on Day 2.

The official boycott web site is up:
CafePress products for the boycott are available at www.cafepress.com/saynotosfse/. Proceeds from the store will either go towards legal defense (personally, I would love to see a class-action lawsuit on behalf of wronged knitters everywhere) or to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

Meet Liv.
Liv is not short for Olivia, but for Livid, which accurately describes the emotional state of many knitters who have been personally affected by Voldemort’s actions. Liv has a fraternal twin. I call him Spike, though I suppose there is no reason why he has to be male.
