Dear community,
The majority share of the knitting, crochet, and crafts industries, and the community that supports them, are women and non-binary folk with uteruses. After yesterday's devastating supreme court decision, essentially removing women's constitutional rights over our own bodies, need to support one another. We need to love each other enough to not give up. I see you. My heart is with you.
Yesterday, I was fortunate enough to be on a Zoom action-meeting run by a major women's healthcare organization. We feel powerless, but one of the suggestions they gave for things we can do is to donate to grass-root organizations that focus on women's healthcare clinics.

If any women or non-binary people with a uterus who are attending @hhamericas and need emotional support after today’s devastating Supreme Court ruling, meet-up at the seating section on the show floor next to the stage, after the Indie Magazine Panel at 1pm. 💗 #roevwade ...
New Kit 🚨!
YarnYAY! Design Team member Chris Bahls has done it again — he created another gorgeous palette of our A-Frame Shawl! We love it so much, we’ve made it a kit. See this one, and our other shade options (featuring VH Montoya Merino Light) in the YarnYAY! Shop (link in bio) at www.YarnYAY.com

great fashion tips! knitted items can be tricky to incorporate into your wardrobe. thanks for posting. marg
You did not look like a “hobbit and/or some kind of knitting jedi” I thought you looked adorable!
Great presentation! Nice to meet you in person. Loved your show and I’m so sorry to hear it end.
Happy Knitting

What a great presentation. Very eye- opening to see the same garment presented different ways and on different body types. I would be interested in seeing the same garment on different age groups, too. Thanks for sharing the video on your blog.
The still photos on the linked site do more justice to you beautiful crocheted coat – the color is great on you.
Liz–We did that a bit showing mother and daughter in the same top, but not as much as we’d planned. Our older model ended up not being able to make it to the presentation. Anyway, I totally agree that it would’ve been great to see more age variance.
Ana–Thanks–nice meeting you, too!
This was so awesome. LOVED IT. The video I saw was an abbreviated version of your talk, so you may have covered this… do you have any fashion tips for those whose probem area is the midsection? I’m a size 6 and fairly busty, but it’s my stomach that I want to camouflage! What will work for those of us who aren’t full apple-shaped, but have tummy issues?
Thanks!
