I was already familiar with Autistic, mega-mind Temple Grandin from an interview with her on NPR’s Fresh Air but it was after watching HBO’s movie about her life (thus far), that I became aware of the full scope of her greatness. If you get a chance, I highly recommend checking this one out (see HBO’s schedule for next airing)! In the meantime, here’s a sneak peek of a little knitwear representation in the biopic that will undoubtedly, win its leading lady an Emmy nod.
Claire Danes as “Temple”, wearing a Fair Isle Moose Pull-Over
I’ll have to look into that one. Sounds interesting. On another note, have you seen “Bright Star”, about John Keats? Beautiful knit- and crochetwear in it.

This is one of the best movies I have seen in a long long time! My sister wanted me to “tape” it for her. I taped and watched–and was hooked. Claire Danes needs to win BIG for this one! FABULOUS!
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
