I also wonder if, as knitting is for most people in this country at least a hobby more than a socially necessary task (price of yarn vs cost of imported clothes) if that has removed some of the denigration it needs to be reclaimed from. Besides a bit of 'haha silly old women knitting', mostly from 15 year old boys, I haven't experienced it - and there's certainly not the level of misogyny there is attached to ideas round, say, cooking.
