本文考察了针织作为北美和英国女性流行爱好的复兴，并探索了第三次女权主义与针织作为一种政治激进主义模式之间的联系，以确定纤维艺术的复兴和庆祝对于女权主义目标的有效性。女权主义编织实践的概念被提出，目的是将女权主义重新想象为一个过程或实践，任何人都可以在具有战略意义的文化时刻采取这种做法。文中详细讨论了几个以编织为特色的艺术展览和激进项目的例子，并分析了互联网作为编织者的网络工具(通过网络博客、网络和播客)的使用。
This article examines the resurgence of knitting as a popular hobby for women in North America and the UK, and explores the associations made between third-wave feminism and knitting as a mode of political activism, in order to determine how effective reclamation and celebration of the fibre arts can be for feminist goals. The concept of a feminist knitting practice is developed, with the purpose of reimagining feminism as a process or practice which anyone can take up at strategic cultural moments. Several examples of art exhibits and activist projects featuring knitting are discussed in detail, as well as an analysis of the use of the internet as a networking tool for knitters (through weblogs, netrings, and podcasts).
