Hey all. Hope you’re holiday weekend was cracktastic! Wait, that doesn’t sound right. What I mean is, that I hope you had a blast watching fireworks with your friends and family…which in no way should’ve involved actual Crack. Crack is wack, yo. Ok, then.
I’ve gotten e-mails asking for links to people/things mentioned in Knitty Gritty Knitsters and noticed that DIY didn’t include show notes on their website so, I thought I’d go ahead and just do that here. I was only a part of the segments that I was physically on camera for though, so this links list was made from the info I could dig up on the web after watching the special myself (meaning, I apologize if I’ve left someone out or don’t have the scoop you’re looking for).
Unfortunately not all cities are carrying this show, I looked for today’s viewing and it is nowhere to be found, so evidently KC decided to show it. Not fair. I loved the show and will miss it.
Vickie, thanks SO very much for the links. I loved the special, especially the rock ‘n roller knitster segment; one of my favorite singers, Lisa Loeb; and, of course, the segment on Warm Up America. I’m encouraged now to gather up my knitter friends and family to whip up a batch of squares to send in. I had knit up a square on my own a way back, and sent it in, but it was very enlightening to see just how all these wonderful, different squares are joined together to make such lovely and needed blankets.
I will so miss Knitty Gritty (by the way, I don’t think they ever ran one holiday episode last year – the one with your mom and several of your friends). It has influenced me so much.
Vickie, Great show. So nice to see something fresh and new. You would think with all the buzz around knitting and crochet networks would follow suit. I am going to “lose it” with a nail gun if I have to watch another home remodeling show.

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...
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
Thanks for the Links!
