Knitting, why and when did it become cool?

It's exactly my bedtime, and I've got work in the morning, but I want to ask, When did knitting become trendy? Was it about the same time I started, or before or after? I've been knitting for about two years now, (and still no finished projects! Working on that, I promise) and just now, looking for a pattern for a knit wristband, I found countless knitting blogs. Didn't read any of them, but I will in the future, when I'm not thinking, "Ok, if I go to bed now, I'll fall asleep in an hour and get about 7 hours of sleep. Dang it, I know I need 8 and prefer 9, why don't I ever go to bed earlier?!?!" (BTW, yes, I think like that)

Anyway, in case you care to know, I'm currently knitting a cool poncho, really warm, and less than half finished, and a colorful scarf. I'm nearly done with the scarf, which is more for looking good than being warm. It's made with Lion Brand's "Incredible" type yarn, which was an impulse buy while my parents were out of town and I was lonely and bored. It's turning out really cool. I should have finished it in two nights, but here we are, a week later and it's still not done. BTW, it's interesting to knit while watching Batman Begins (great movie), I know, I just did so.

Ok, tired, must sleep.

Till next I write!
