Stitch 'n Bitch

In recent years, the Stitch 'n Bitch movement has been considered as a means of reclaiming women's domestic work in feminist circles.

Dr. Beth Ann Pentney, writing in Thirdspace journal, credited Stoller's publications with the rise of feminist knitting.

Stoller introduced this approach to feminism to merge political involvement with a women's community-building activity set in a Do-It-Yourself culture.

Some say that the reason of the reintroduction of knitting in modern social gatherings is mainly due to the increase in the search for individualism and the anti-consumerism attitude of our generation.
