Slipknot Fans Bombard Knitting Circle With Abuse

Steve Boggan of the Independent reports a women’s knitting circle website is being by Slipknot fans who are angry the guild’s quarterly journal shares the same name as the American band. Rita Taylor, who chairs the Knitting & Crochet Guild, said: “The e-mails have been pretty unpleasant, telling us that we shouldn’t be on the internet with the word ‘Slipknot’. But we are not going to let it bother us. We are interested in preserving and nurturing the skills of knitting and crochet, not this band, who I had never heard of.”
