Leanne Prain Interview,Yarnbombing Moany Bags and copyright hissyfits

Great Radio interview: Leanne Prain Talks Yarn Bombing (Knit Grafitti) and Her Attempted Tag of the FBI Building
"miss, step away from the knitting" LOL

Leanne Prain and Mandy Moore wrote the book Yarn Bombing: The Art of Crochet and Knit Graffiti, which I am proud to say included little old moi and the jafagirls.

Issues with Yarnbombing 
Someone left a snarky note next to our yarnbombed stones in Yellow Springs about using knitting for the homeless.
sigh!
Please read the facts on what homeless shelters really need here.
OR
Since National Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Week is Nov 14-20th visit here and make a donation that is really needed instead of griping about us recycling scraps of knitting people donated to us.

Copyright Hall of Shame
Presuming this is true Cooks Source Magazine should KNOW better, but apparently they don't. This may not be an isolated incident.
