Q&A - Katherine Mok - Chief stitcher and bitcher [via]
Metropolis - April 28 2006
Since she started Stitch ‘n’ Bitch in Tokyo two years ago, Australian Katherine Mok, 31, has turned the knitting social into a local phenomenon.
What’s it all about?
Stitch ‘n’ Bitch is a group of knitters/crocheters/crafters who get together to share ideas, chat, eat and drink. The concept was started in New York City by Debbie Stoller, the editor of Bust magazine. Now there are Stitch ‘n’ Bitch groups all over the world.
What do you bitch about?
We started off as a group of three foreigners (Australian, American and Thai) so we would chat about our experiences (good and bad) in Japan. We bring patterns and books to share with each other and talk about projects, colors, yarn types and so on.

I discovered blogging about two and a half years ago as a cool way to document our time in Japan. It has connected me with people around the world; I sometimes meet up with other bloggers when they come to Japan.
