Receipts! My Thrive shawl pattern raised $52 last month for the Transgender Law Center! Thank you to everybody who purchased and made this donation possible. I hope you're enjoying making it as much as I did! #Knitting 🧶 #Craftivism

Craft on the mind

This week I've been thinking about craft, big and small. Gently protest with me. See how inside.

I went to grab text from the @[email protected] Red Cards today and learned that they've added like 40 new languages since I made PNGs last year! Going through and slowly making new PNGs to add to the set on @[email protected] archive.org/details/chin... #Craftivism #Activism

Thinking about the Knit for Food fundraiser and wondering if a walk-a-thon fundraising model could be applied to knitting/crochet. Crafters sign up to craft during a specific time window and get people to pledge to donate per yard of yarn worked in that window #Craftivism #Knit #Crochet 🧶

Another media outlet "discovers" #Craftivism

I do wish these stories wouldn't always focus on whether craft activism is performative. I make things because I cannot not make things. Other aspects of my life, including my political feelings, influence what I make. That's what art fucking is, but call it craft and suddenly everybody and their mother has a shitty opinion as to it's worth 🤷‍♀️
