New Sweater, New Donation

I�ve been waiting a little while to share this squishy sweater with you! 
Pamplemousse

Cables and slipped stitches and a cowl, knit in the most beautiful hand-dyed yarn ever. It�s Taiga, Canadian Dorset, naturally dyed by Shani of Bleu Poussiere, to the most subtle, delicate but sophisticated pink ever.

Right?

I�ll let you check out the test knits and the rest of the photos and info on Ravelry for yourself, and you know I'll pop into my group to answer questions as they arise!

If you want to find Shani�s Taiga, she�s having an ETSY update tonight 9/26 at 7pm EST HERE

And I'm also starting a new donation, as promised, now that my husband is employed and I have a little wiggle room to pay the bills once more. This time I'm not going to tie the donation to a specific pattern, but make it apply to all my sales. 

From today until November 4th, 2019, I am going to donate $1 of EVERY SELF PUB I SELL ON RAVELRY to Fair Fight 2020.    

You can read more about FairFight 2020 here, and my thoughts on their mission are below. 

I think Stacey Abrams is a hugely effective organizer, speaker, and all-around human. I trust her to do this right, and I want to amplify her message about the importance of next year�s election. and the urgency of getting organized now. 

Personally, I feel strongly that in order to address the inequality in our systems, there needs to be accountability in our voting process, and I don�t see it now. I feel strongly that Institutional, political changes will only happen when everyone is represented and has a fair chance to be heard at the polls, and that�s what Stacey Abrams is trying to do. You can read more on her website or in the article here, but she�s organizing legal action and local mechanisms to protect our elections in 20 different states, and she�s organizing it all now so it�s ready when we need it next year.

I know some of you may won�t agree with me using my business to promote the voting rights issue. I�m sorry if this offends you, and that�s not my intent. It�s not partisan, it�s about everyone having the same rights. My intent is to fight for equality and representation for everyone under the law.
