Being an #Millenial is growing up convinced you're a #SydneyCarton in the #late90s #early00s and finding out during #Trump that you're actually #MadameDefarge

Fiber is never neutral. Together we stitch our stories, our rage, our resistance. Welcome to the circle. #MadameDeFarge #StitchingRevolution #Craftivism #KnittingAsProtest #FiberCommunity #NoKings

Perhaps we can start a #MadameDefarge national knit-in. I can bring brownies..

Ça ira!

I'm not the world's best knitter (at school in the 50s my squares were rejected for the blanket we were knitting for the 'poor children in Africa'), but if/when Trump comes to the UK on a state visit, I'll be there with my knitting needles and red wool! #MadameDefarge

Well then. Since my career is being put in the shitter, may as well #knit #knitting #shawl #madamedefarge

A tryptich of photos of a partially knit sock. The yarn is a dull purple tonal and the pattern has cabled diamonds and purl diamonds.

I was almost finished a rainbow sock today and then saw we are now at (trade) war.

So I put that down and cast on with Canadian yarn and Canadian needles 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'll get my knitting needles out #madamedefarge

As Madame Defarge weaves the names of the condemned into shrouds, her knitting becomes a symbol of her victims' fate, their death at the hands of a vengeful peasantry
