Chris Baldwin, creator of the comic strip Little Dee, riffed about knitting and spinning over the month of February. It’s a topic that comes up a lot in this comic, as this sea shanty from a strip in October 2007 illustrates. It’s fun and funny, and the punchline to this long song about knitting is pitch perfect.

Brother Amos - Knit with the saints or fry with the sinners, your feet will look great either way. Inspired by the fiery preacher in the British modern classic novel, Cold Comfort Farm, by Stella Gibbons, Brother Amos' socks feature a lace stitch pattern reminiscent of the flickering flames of hell where, according to Brother Amos, we're all doomed to "fritter and fry" for eternity.
Mrs Beeton - A free pattern, first published in Knitty.com, Mrs Beeton wrist warmers are the essence of romance, with soft ruffles that look wonderful peeking out from under a jacket sleeve, and beads that catch the light and sparkle at your wrists.
Driving Miss Daisy - Wrist-length fingerless driving gloves feature a daisy lace stitch pattern on the back of the hand, a thumb gusset for comfort, and a garter stitch wristband with single button closure for a snug and sassy fit.
OMGOMGOMG!!! Thanks for the earworm! Seriously.
I actually have this one on my iPod, plus I have a Rogues of Wool tote bag.
