craftgrrlA short while ago Microrevolt issued a call to arms. They called it 146+.
In this call they were asking crafters to knit numbered armbands that correspond with victims of the 1911 Triangle Waist Factory fire in New York City on it's 100th anniversary and other such tragedies around the world.
On March 25th, at Cooper Union Great Hall in New York these armbands will be worn in a memorial hosted by Workers United.
I picked 153 for Ruhul Amin.
Can't find my digital camera so I had to make due with making silly faces into my laptops webcam. Grrr! Craftivism! (that is what I am trying to say with my silly face I think...)
*I had to learn fair isle knitting in order to make this. Yah for new skills!
