Let's STOP The Hatred

Rachel Matthews, a knitter from the U.K. has recently published a book that has knitted patterns for making dolls that look like dictators such as Hitler, Pol Pot, Saddam Hussein and other hate mongers. She has the audacity to call the Hitler doll "Knitler."

We knitters need to tell the world that she does not represent us and that the majority of us are kind, charitable, concerned caring people.
