Well, Bloomberg Business Week has also weighed in this morning on all the technical aspects of trademark protection and the USOC's letter to Ravelry. As other news sources have, they also failed to recognize that Ravelry is both knitting and crochet, but well, like every other newsy source that skipped us, they are piggy backing off the work of other papers instead of checking it out for themselves. If one news source says knitters and the letter from the USOC says knitters, then there’s no reason to look for any other fiber art, just copy.

I did appreciate that Bloomberg did not take the pun road and poke fun at Ravelers this time. You can read their article here: www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-06-22/why-the-u-dot-s-dot-olympi....

However, because they ignored the main issue all of us have felt - over the insulting language - I had to respond in their comments. (Feel free to thumb up my comment on their page if you like my response.) And I decided to write a follow-up on the issue today here: Disparaging Handcrafts In The Name Of Law – How Far Does It Push Us....

It may very well be the last article I really write on the matter, aside from mailing off my crochet hook (I’ve decided to take that path instead of crocheting something to mail them in protest), but I feel it’s a strong and reasonable statement none-the-less. And the very reasonable aspects of our discontent is what I hope gets some real attention.
