Knit, Crochet, and Quilt/Sew and use your skills to voice to participate in art, to speak up, to become an activist with your yarn.
The project ask the question...........What if instead of building a wall to keep people out, 2,000 miles of yarn be used to make blankets to welcome people, just as our Statue of Liberty suggestions when she says, "Give me your Tired, your poor". 3,500,640 yards of Blankets is the call.

I post this as a means to help spread the word about this project. I stumbled across this the other day and was unsure how many people knew about it. There's not a lot of time since the deadline is August 25th I believe to be included in the exhibit. I've also seen a note in the RAVELRY Group that indicates the deadline to donate has been extended to November 4th, 2018
Jeweled Lines has grown to about double the size from when you last saw it last with the addition of the green and now back to the amethyst. Thanks for the input on the names between this blog and my charity blog, Bridge and Beyond. I like the suggested name of Jeweled Lines, better than the flip of it, which is what I had initially. I'm still not quite sure if this will be enough yarn with adding the green; but as yet.........still can't get to the basement to look further at my stash, so will play through and see what happens. Though I did do some steps today for the first time at therapy...so might be able to soon.
Watched this show, Tulip Fever on Netflix recently. I can't say I would recommend it. It was dark...dark in the way it was filmed (somewhat on purpose I suppose 1634 in Amsterdam), but also a bit dark in it's storyline. It wasn't at all believeable, though the write ups discussed how this was a long awaited film from Harvey Weinstein. That in fact, it took 17 years to come to the screen. First it was released in Germany from what I read in 2017. The right up portrayed how this was a historic event and was expected to be much bigger than it was...........but, doing a bit more research I see The Smithsonian says the primary story about Tulip Fever is in fact NOT true. If you watch it, I'll be interested in hearing if you liked it. Not all reviews were bad. This wasn't a series, it was a movie. So, you can watch it without committing much to do so.
Have been trying to eat light (this was lunch) since my level of activity is soooo much less than normal with the broken foot. Though this past week, I've not done as well as above.
