I know I’m not the only knitter alive who has looked over at those large wooden needles and felt safe in the knowledge that she is prepared for a vampire attack. I know that when that day comes, I will not only be prepared, but also practiced at stabbing hearts with my size 15s. I set to making a cabled human heart needlepoint cover when an online knitting design site challenged us all to knit something for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but truth be told? I just wanted practice shots at the stabbity stabs.
