batman and the yarn harlot
Knitters, fellow bloggers, and the handful of sympathetic friends and relatives who comment on our posts — I have two things for you today.
First, my nephew Ian’s Christmas stocking is done. It looks like it will hold enough cookies and toys to make his parents nervous. Mission accomplished!
Second, the Yarn Harlot has issued another challenge to knitters to support the Tricoteuses Sans Frontières (Knitters Without Borders) project, through which knitters and friends-of-knitters dontate to Médecins sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders). MSF was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999 “in recognition of the organization’s pioneering humanitarian work on several continents.”
It occurs to me that the Yarn Harlot is kind of like Batman — she using her special powers to help people. Like Batman, the Harlot is very, very cool, if not as mysterious or independently wealthy as he. And if she carried a grappling hook and flew the Batjet, then my nephew might want to dress up like her for Halloween.
Check it out – I think it rocks:
