Crocheter draws crowd at bookstore
Lincoln Journal Star - April 26 2006
Most Tuesday nights, Neal Brickner knits on the third floor of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Student Union.
He knits with the Uppity Knitters Unite, which was founded in October 2004. Every Tuesday at 7 p.m., they meet in the Women’s Center.
This particular Tuesday, though, Brickner, 24, brought his knitting needles and his project (leg warmers) to Lee Booksellers.
There, he and the other Uppity Knitters listened to Debbie Stoller sing the praises of crochet.
They petted the soft alpaca sweater Stoller passed around.
They examined the crocheted scarves and bags, and teeny tiny bikini Stoller brought along, all of which are patterns featured in her latest book “Stitch ‘N Bitch: The Happy Hooker,” which she was there promoting.
