I don’t know about you, but after watching Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and Judge Brett Kavanaugh testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee today, I kind of wanted to curl up in a ball and pretend there’s nothing I can do.

But, of course, there is something I can do – something we can all do.

BELIEVE WOMEN.

I humbly offer this colorwork chart, which I am currently contemplating adding to everything in my knitwear closet, as a way to not only release some of the tension and anxiety and trauma that today’s hearing triggered but also as a way to let your voice be heard even when you can’t bring yourself to open your mouth.

And, yeah, call your elected representatives, too.
