Fumin' Womb

She's rolled with the punches, she's taken hits below the belt, but this tough little organ will never be down for the count when it comes to her rights. Now more than ever, she needs us in her corner for the long fight ahead for reproductive freedom. When Roe v. Wade was overturned, many of us felt it as a gut punch. But there are also many ways to punch back and join the fight for bodily autonomy—if you need some ideas, this resource from the [ACLU][1] is one place to start. As serious as this struggle is, sometimes you need a break. And you may find, like I did, that embroidering a tiny angry face onto your pissed off uterus is quite satisfying! Knit in fingering-weight yarn, this project is the perfect size to make into a pin or brooch that declares your support for human rights. Or you can hang tiny uteri on your Christmas tree! Or mail them to your representatives! What should you do with your tiny angry uterus? Whatever the heck you want! A hand-dyed yarn gives the uterus some depth and organic verve, and small amounts of solid colors lend a pop that demands attention. Or use yarn scraps in whatever weight you like, with corresponding needle size—you don't need much yardage or time for this timely project.
