My 81 year old mother texted me today to ask if I had any yarn in my stash I'm not planning to use anytime soon. This was a little unusual because she mostly sews and quilts, she hasn't knitted regularly in years. I asked her what she needed yarn for and she said "I found a great pattern for an #IceOut hat and I'm going to start making them to give out at church."
The republic survives, for now.

@andthisismrspeacock Please tell me that "brochet" is what teenage boys who crochet call it.

@andthisismrspeacock I discovered this 'resistance hat' today, patterns available for knitting or crochet. Based on the Norwegian hat used to protest the Nazi occupation of Norway in the 1940s. The hats were called ''isselue,' which roughly translates to Santa hat." I'm smitten by these particular shades of red and they're tugging at my never-wear-hats self

It's hard to explain if you don't know my mom, but this is huge. She's a former public school teacher who has always been (compared to me) a very timid, very moderate, very milk-n-cookies apolitical person. She often felt the teachers' union was going too far with its demands.
But Temu Mussolini has enraged, radicalized, and activated her in a way that I - someone who has known her all my life - did not believe was possible.
They're cooked, chat. They just don't know it yet. #USPol #IceOut
