I have had neither cause nor particular desire to join in the Cory Doctorow hate that much of my flist engages in - until someone linked to this post.
Now, I'm not a published writer, but I know a little about knitting, and his comment about "the hint" - which is TOTAL CRAP - just knocked me off my chair. Where the hell did he get that? There's only one place you can start in a piece of knitting, and it's where the working yarn ends!
Now he's in the same category for me as Michael Crichton, after he claimed a human female was homecoming queen at Rice in the opening of Jurassic Park. :-/
