You often hear about natural resources being squandered...oil...coal...the rain forests...but there's one n.r. that is rarely mentioned...grannies. Or, to be specific, grannies who knit...and who, having clothed all their various relatives in copious quantities of woolen goods, are now at somewhat of a loose end.

Enter Grannies, Inc...a British company that has gathered together a crack team of grannies...who wait, poised with needle and wool, to hand knit you the snood (scarf, beanie, etc) of your dreams...or, if not your dreams, your specifications vis-a-vis color and stitch.
