I don't normally mix politics and blogging, but today I met up with a bunch of knitbloggers for the march for women's lives in downtown DC. It was amazing. On the news tonight, they're estimating between 500,000-800,000, which makes it one of the biggest advocacy marches ever in DC. We had some celebrity sightings, including Hillary Rodham Clinton, Whoopi Goldberg and the Indigo Girls, but the best part of the day was spending it with some fabulous women who I met through knit blogs on the internet. What a wacky world!
That's A. in a Bottom's Up Bucket o'Chic, a zonkered Caroline and mom Maggi, emdash, Maureen, Rachael, and Bethany. Earlier we also met up with Cheryl for a bit, but she went to march with her ladies. Maureen's shirts drew a lot of interest - look for the "knitters against Bush" in your neighborhod! And I look forward to seeing some of them next weekend at Maryland Sheep & Wool!
