Crafting 365 - Day 56 [1]

Check out Cme member craftnerd [4]'s Super Mario Bros. blanket-in-progress (as found on our forum [5]). I hear the doot-doot-doot song in my head just looking at it! She made a Space Invaders [6] purse, too!

As for the second part of my title, I stumbled onto this write-up about the Granny Peace Brigade's knitting protest in New York City [7]. Many of us get together with other stitchers to schmooze and crochet or knit. We do it for the fun and camaraderie, but I'm intrigued by the idea of a third variable to bring stitchers together. Are any of you involved in a group that stitches together for a reason, be it love of literature, charity stitching, activism, sci-fi fandom, etc.?
