ND teacher, crafter, reader, and perpetual student. I love fantasy and sci-fi, activism, art, and yarn.
#knitting project COMPLETE. Ends are woven in. I don't have a place in my life for blocking something 7.25 feet long, so washing will have to do. It's just a lap blanket.

This is so cool!! And I am so glad she lives in a state that doesn't criminalize a diversity of appearance in women.
