Please join me this Saturday at the Museum of
Arts and Design in a workshop from 10:00AM-1:00PM
if you are in the New York City area.
It's a good opportunity to see The Radical Lace
and Subversive Knitting show!

Join worldwide fiber enthusiasts by participating
in the Nike Blanket Petition, a blanket made up of
4 x 4 inch knitted or crocheted squares, that will
be assembled as a petition for fair labor policies
for Nike garment workers. Hand stitched squares are
documented by a digital camera and archived on-line,
then stitched into a 14 foot wide blanket of the
Nike swoosh. Experienced and non-knitters welcome,
there will be beginner lessons in knitting and
crochet. Exhibiting artist Cat Mazza will introduce
the project and lead the workshop with a slide show
about the blanket tour to knitting circles across
the United States. This session will complete the
three-year initiative that she intends to deliver
to Nike. Free with Museum admission.
