I suspect that idiot has a typical male non-knitter view of knitting - see the Yarn Harlot for more about how non-knitters just don't get it at all (which is entirely their loss).

You & strawberryfrog are right - handicrafts are acts of rebellion in an age of mass-production. So why is he so dreadfully anti anyone actually being creative & making a statement by producing something, rather than the more usual teenage rebellion thing of destroying stuff - about which he reckons someone might make films.

Silly journalist! But maybe that's part of the problem - he was miffed cos he got to cover knitting - which he clearly regards as wimpish, rather than something apparently more macho, & destructive!
