Not sure which pattern you mean. One of the yellow hats, the cowl, or the MTI hat?

The first of a dozen or so Melt the Ice hats. Worsted yarn with a deep folded brim so it covers my ears. Lighting is deceptive. The color is actually a deep ruby red. #melttheice #iceout #abolishice #knitting #knitsky

Great job! Working on mine now.

Food Delivered With Dignity In the current environment we need to raise a $7,000 a day to sustain our operations

One small thing you can do today: ICE is ramping up in Maine. Food For All is delivering meals to 300 families that can't leave their homes. They need $7k a day to continue operations. The Culture Study community is raising enough to cover a day—join us?

I have 5 I'm actively working on, a 6th that's inactive, and 3 warm weather knits that are cooling their heels until the weather warms up. What is this "too many" concept of which you speak?

I haven’t posted for #WIPWednesday in a while because of the terror campaign ICE has been running in my city and state and it seemed frivolous.

Read Naomi’s blog post below for ways you can help and prepare yourselves.

Rebecca from Chicago here. Knitting for 7 years, mostly self-taught with just a handful of classes here and there. Knitting, reading, gardening, walking, and social justice are my passions.

Gifts winging their way to the west coast. #knitsky

Doing the same here once I tidied up after our guests left. Best way to wind down after a busy day!

Yellow hats for peaceful resistance. Cold weather won’t stop us! #resist #handsoff #nokings #knitsky #Chicago

Yes, sad and horribly wrong no matter the immigration status.

This week’s WIPs - 2 cowls & a scarf

This fight isn't over. Our case challenging President Trump's executive order will still move forward.

In the meantime anyone who applies for a new, corrected, or replacement passport, or for a passport renewal, is at risk of having their passport issued bearing the sex they were assigned at birth.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court granted the Trump administration's request to enforce its discriminatory passport policy while our lawsuit makes its way through the courts.

This decision undermines the freedom of transgender, non-binary, and intersex people to have our IDs reflect who we are.

Finished one cowl last week and have 2 more on the needles.

Thought for tomorrow:

‘Rise like Lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number,
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you –
Ye are many – they are few.’

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Hope you have a great DFW Fest! For those of us nowhere near Dallas, where might we be able to purchase these fabulous backpacks?
