I just ran through the recap of March 15th Sunday Morning and didn’t see an article by Mo about knitting. I hope you’ll let us know when it’s coming up if you’re able.

Not only did Mo make a full retraction and apology, he has spent the last week avidly learning how to knit and sew. Check out the Bust Magazine blog to read Debbie Stoller’s tale of teaching Mo to knit.

I love Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me! Mo Rocca’s apology is great! It sounded like the apologies politicians and celebrities and sports figures end up making, only more sincere.
