CODEPINK: Knitivism for Peace & Mother's Day

Short notice on this, but it's still doable!

Copied from the CODEPINK website:

A Radical Act of Knitting in honor of Mother's Day!

Calling all CODEPINK knitters! We are creating a beautiful, quilted cozy to cover the fence in front of the White House to honor Mother's Day. The message will be “We will not raise our children to kill another mother’s child”-inspired by Julia Ward Howe’s Mother’s Day Proclamation. We’ll be piecing it together from individual squares knitted by YOU as part of the 24 hour Mother’s Day vigil for Women who live in War Zones. The best part is you don’t have to be an experienced knitter to help! This is perfect for knitters of all skill levels—and a great opportunity for those who want to learn! Celebrate the time honored tradition of the radical act of knitting. How-to-knit page here (just in case!)

----------------------------
Go to the site for all the details. Basically they just want 4X4 tightly knit or crocheted squares, pink and green (a ratio of about 5:1.)

They need them by next Monday, May 4, so they probably need to be mailed by Thursday, maybe Friday. It's doable! I pledged 6 squares a couple of hours ago and am almost finished with my third.
I've already received acknowledgment of my pledge note, too - CODEPINK women rock!

Peace,
