Let’s knit these!

March for Our Lives knitting activism

From the Ravelry page:

The evil eye symbology goes way back. The Evil Eye is an act of protection. But it is not just defensive, it is also an act of aggression – of willful gazing, of not turning away.

Make these gloves for yourself, a loved one, or send in to the March For Our Lives on March 24 in protest of gun violence in the US.

Individually, to show the eye on the palm, you can put out your hand in a “stop” gesture - as in, we must stop gun violence, enough is enough. In a group, you can raise your hands above your head to show the eyes - this is the universal gesture of “hands up don’t shoot” and a reminder of how vulnerable our children are in a country with weak gun control.

When you send in these gloves, it will reach a student or family member or ally marching at March for Our Lives. You are protecting them with your work, showing them that they are supported, are cared for, and that they have millions of people backing them, they are not alone. Give them this gift of support, protection, and a way for them to make a huge statement together, like the pussyhat did in January 2016.

Make the Evil Eye Glove your own: Flat or In the Round: They are fingerless gloves and quite easy to make – the pattern is designed flat, but of course you can make them in the round. Blue or Brown or Any Color: The traditional evil eye colors are striking – blue against white with black lashes, and these happen to match the March for Our Lives emblem. But I encourage you to make the eyes any color you want. I am currently making a purple pair in honor of Liz Taylor. I’ll definitely be making a brown eyed pair in honor of my own ancestors. Patches, Embroidery, Sewn, Crocheted, Painted: Make the eye gloves any way you can, any way you wish. You can sew them, use patches, paint, whatever modality of creativity moves you.

Please use hashtags #marchforourlives and #evileyeglove on social media. As you make the gloves post a picture of your progress to show the student organizers that we’ve got their backs.

Where to send your gloves: You can bring them to D.C. to distribute at the march yourself, or you can mail them to the Woman’s National Democratic Club, who have generously agreed to be the main collection point for the #evileyeglove for the March for Our Lives.

Please put each pair of gloves in a ziploc bag (to protect from the elements) along with a personal note expressing your support of these students.

Please address your packages to: Krista Suh c/o Woman’s National Democratic Club 1526 New Hampshire Avenue, NW Washington DC 20036

My first attempt at beaded knitting. What do you think? Lots of tedious work. Wonder if it’s worth the effort.

A friend wanted a snowflake for her Pussy Hat. She’ll be wearing it at the Women’s March on Washington DC.

More photos of flower garland. I'm adding leaves and flower buds. Not sure how I feel about the dark green vine running through the garland.

Love these!

How delightful are the Flower Fairy and Leaf Sprites from issue 1: Flora, of Making? Each piece is worked in the round with no seaming. These little treasures are made in Chickadee and were designed by @susanbanderson. Order your copy of Making from Quince - link in profile.

Gorgeous!

I’ve done quite a few knitting patterns for flowers but I’m still slowly building the collection. Just last month I added a daffodil pattern to the website and now I’m kinda thinking about doing a lily.

The patterns are all free and available at ODDknit.com

Next project on my list - a request from my daughter. Ordered some yarn from Knitpicks. Anxious to get started!

These gorgeous socks are today’s quick knit.  They come in at 262 - 306 yards.  I love the touch of cabling on the heel.  They’re just darn pretty.
