Barbie says 'It's cool to be geeky!'

Barbie has ventured into the realms of IT. Armed with her laptop, spectacles and sensible footwear, she is more than prepared for a career in Information Technology as reported in this BBC News article.

And knit4dolls are going to help her, and all the would-be geeks out there. We are bringing out a knitting pattern for a 'geeky' Barbie outfit, so that girls everywhere can see that all Barbie dolls, everywhere, can become leaders in the field of IT.

Obviously girls don't need special clothes to branch into IT, but they do need motivation, and an awareness that, whatever jeers might be thrown their way, they are free, and more than able to tackle any role they choose to embark on in life.
