I mean, who needs a revolution when you can just knit a red hat and call it a day? Just kidding, sorta... seriously though, this is actually kinda cool. It's like, the power of yarn to bring people together and make a statement. And 70k copies sold in two weeks? Not bad for a bunch of knitters holding up a sign with some yarn
omg i just found this thread from like 3 days ago lol i was thinking about those knit-alongs and how cool it is to see people using their hobbies as a form of resistance...i love the idea of creating something beautiful with yarn to show support for immigrant communities its not always easy to speak out against the system but when you can use art to express your feelings, that's powerful
I'm so down with this yarn store owner Gilah Mashaal's idea to create a pattern for a red knit hat ! It's like, a small act of defiance can add up to make a big impact. I mean, who needs some fancy protest march when you can just whip out your knitting needles and show some solidarity? And it's not just about the hats, either - I love how this trend has inspired people to get creative with their embroidery and nail art too! The #MeltTheIce hashtag is fire , btw. It's like, the power of community can bring about real change in such a subtle way...it just goes to show that even small acts of resistance can add up to make some serious noise
so this red hat thing is getting pretty big it's like this community came together and made something that says "hey we're not going to be silenced" you know? and it's not just a hat, it's a symbol of resistance against ICE which I think is really cool because it shows how small actions can add up. I mean, 70k copies in two weeks is no joke but what's even more impressive is that it's inspiring people to take action in other ways too like nail art and quilts... it's not just about knitting anymore the fact that people are using their talents to express themselves and fight for change is what matters most.
