Feminist Craft
Woah so I just did a post about crafty actions and then immediately found two more projects. These ones are more DiY so have a go. They both came from the innaugural Down Under Feminist Carnival at Hoyden About Town – which has some great stuff on it, check it out.
These projects are both from this absolutely fascinating project called Fifty Two Acts. I urge you to have a really good look around this site because not only are there some really clever projects on there. But the awesome Sajbrfem who has put it together has done a fantastic job or articulating her rational behind her processes. It’s something I try hard to do because I also come at my art and craft from an open source/hacktivist basis.
Firstly this gorgeous open source pattern for a boob hat which is a follow on from this discussion
And the best bit is that I recently learned to crochet and I reckon I could actually make one of these. I’m gonna have to start looking out for the right wool on my opshop missions.
The other project that she’s started which I reckon is great is the feminist knitalong project called Knit Club. She’s designed a scarf pattern and is feeding 10 rows of the pattern at a time as blog posts. She used the knitpro app and when you finish the scarf it has a special message for all those who participate.
So she’s up to 18 out of 52 projects. I can not wait to see what else comes out of this. I dare say you’ll see more of it here.
