Global Warming is a pressing enviromental issue that affects all of us. Knitters need to care because one day, if global warming is left to go unchecked, it will become too warm to work with cashmere, knit sweaters, wooly socks...even baby booties. The only thing left to knit will be bikinis. Not that there's anything wrong with a knitted bikini, it would just get pretty old, knitting those little triangles again and again. We'd all have to take up new hobbies. Like building Waterworld style homes or peeling our constant sunburns.

The future is grim my friends, if we don't take action now. kNAGw was created to provide anti-global warming resources for knitters. Save our Sweaters!
