knitsburgh

I'm fantasizing about starting a knitting in pittsburgh newsletter that could be online as well as hard copy available in area yarn shops. Supported by advertisers (local coffee shops and cafes that knitters frequent, national and local yarn-related businesses). Possible features -- interviews with every-day knitters, profiles of stalwarts of local knitting communities, listings of knitting circles and guilds and any other knitting groups, knitting first aid (crises averted by experts), knitting recipes (adapted so you can cook and knit at same time), knitting exercises (anything to prevent/treat knitting injuries), knitting fitness (tips to counter sedentary activity), knit-wit (knitting jokes and puzzles), stitchionary (favorite stitches), kniterary pursuits (reviews of knitting literature), poems, short stories, pictures etc. pertaining to knitting and knitting lifestyle; knitjr (aimed at kids); knitsr (aimed at older knitters); knitX (aimed at genx knitters); knitchic (aimed at fashion-conscious); knitnice (charity knitting opportunities); the ongoing adventures of Stitches (a sheep or goat or bunny or???)
I won't quit my day job yet. But I think there's an idea here.
