Unfortunately, the answer is all of the above. And then some.

BBC Radio.
Hah! You pretty much had to guess to get this one right. We were
interviewed by someone with BBC Local Radio (in the West Midlands) for
a time slot at like, 12:00 am, sometime in late 2005. It’s entirely
possible that no one heard our interview but it was a fun experience.

10. Kimberly and Mary dedicated the Threadbared book to:
Threadbared readers of course!

11. What do pirates like to do when they’re feeling crafty?
They like to macramé hanging plantARRRRs! And after they’ve finished with the planter, they pose in the Tampax stance and look all proud.

12. Of all the gangs at Westwood Middle School which one is the roughest?
Purple Diamond Gang. Though I’d like to point out that the Mittens of Fury are even tougher. Their reputation has suffered however, as it’s nearly impossible to throw a gang sign while wearing mittens.

13. Which auteur’s "early work" has been displayed on Threadbared?
David Lynch. Possibly the most bizarre knitting booklet I’ve ever seen. And in the last two years, we’ve seen some strange ones….

14. Whose tunic is indeed truly wondrous, so pleated and blousen it is?
Halvdan The Tunic-wearer. Hast thou ever seen a Croatian Shirt as pleasing to thy eyes? Come on, thou know thou haven’t!

15. Where did the Walker sisters meet the McFarland twins?
The Gas ‘N Sip. Why, it’s the hottest spot in town!

16. Which Threadbared post has the largest number of comments?
With 76 comments A Threadbared Epic: Barbie & Ken – Living In A Crocheted Paradise is the winner. But the short-shorts gang
is right behind them with 65 comments. All about short-shorts. And how
people miss short-shorts. And where can people buy short-shorts. And
how sexy a guy’s butt looks in a pair of short-shorts. And I need to
stop now because I have the feeling I’m going to have nightmares about
short-shorts tonight if I don’t end this immediately.
