Gather on September 9 with some of your knitting besties at String Theory to participate in the biggest election yarn bombing event in the area!
We'll be knitting up a simple pattern adapted by Lucy Dallman - A heart ornament embroidered with a simple-but-powerful message - Vote - and distributing them all around Dupage County's public spaces and beyond.
Other simple actions you can take to promote voting and democracy will be discussed (it will also be extremely fun)!
This is a free event but please BYON (bring your own needles - we recommend a size 7 or 8 straight or circular needles.
Yarn and pattern will be provided (but feel free to bring worsted or DK weight yarn from your stash, if you like!).
