LibDems Reclassify Knitting As Class B Drug
MORE developments from the LibDem conference, and news that knitting is to be recalssified as a gateway hobby.
Says one addict:
“I started on booties for Princess Diana’s son William and before long I was knitting all the time. People began to stare and shops refused to let me in. I once knitted Noel Edmonds. The only place I knew I wouldn’t be seen was in Bournemouth, at the LibDem conference…”

Christine, you’re obviously a busy lady, as demonstrated by your webpage. In the nicest possible way though, this sort of picture (and the one before it which looks like Danny Baker with a dirty tea towel) send out all kinds of messages to the voters.

Started on Prince William’s bootees? No way! I’ve been knitting since the mid-60s. I knitted through Young Friends, when I was a Quaker (though not in Meeting for Worship). Then I took up politics. I was knitting a cardigan on a 300 Group conference cruise in the 1980s (’Christine Headley knitted throughout,’ said The Times, who had sent a reporter). I knitted on Lambeth Council in the later 1980s. I didn’t knit when a committee vice-chair on the London Borough of Sutton, and I don’t knit now in Stroud District Council meetings. But I do knit at conferences.
I suspect the photo was taken during Lynne Featherstone’s speech. I wish I could remember the joke. However, it certainly wasn’t Nick Clegg speaking, as unfortunately I had to return to Stroud early for a Special Council Meeting.
