Maybe we need to start an "uncool knitting bloggers" ring...considering these thoughts from Jahara. (you'll have to go to the 13 April entry; blogger's link-from-the-time-stamp thing seems to be toasted once again).

I have never been cool. I could not be cool if my life depended on it. I am a geek, a nerd, a poindexter, whatever you want to call me (just don't call me a dork, I'm a biologist and I know what the supposed origin of the word is!). I get too excited about stuff. I am too tolerant of other people's goofiness. I would never take it upon myself to dissuade a "newbie" because they don't do it "right" or because they ask questions that have been asked before. I don't see myself as an arbiter of taste, or as an originator of trends. I am happy to be a follower, or even someone who is so far behind the times they are actually ahead of them.

I know I am not cool, and I am ok with it. What I am not ok with is being told that because I am not cool, I should shut up/give up/change myself to be more cool. I put up with that $&#( during my grade-school years, and I won't do it any more.

Say it clear, say it loud, I'm uncool, and I'm proud.
