For the full article. I have to say this is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. I knit and I've never hurt myself or anyone else with my needles, yarn or anything else I use. I don't even know how they can justify such ... well.

I was just thinking these idiots should see my size 50 knitting needles. Not that I actually use them for anything because they look so much like vampire stakes. Even then, I'd have to be trying real hard to hurt someone with them.
