UPDATE: KNITTING IS THE NEW BOWLING with Jane Pauley

Posted by dailyheights on Wednesday 2 March 2005 at 4:29 pm

Jpauley65nndbAccording to Kathy, "apparently the Jane Pauley
Show went to Freddy’s in order to film Knit Night in action [Monday, Feb. 1]. As a
friend pointed out, Jane Pauley going to Freddy’s sort of points to us
now being in The End Times."

UPDATE: Knit Night organizer Tony Limuaco just got back from the show taping downtown (air date TBA): "Jane was a gracious host–I got all sorts of loot … The show was on crafts, and Knit Night at Freddy’s was the opening piece. The show also featured cake decorating genius Kate Sullivan and Lilly Chin, author of ‘The Urban Knitter.’ They left one of my quotes in the clip: ‘Knitting is the new yoga, but after few beers it’s the new bowling.’"
