REBEL WITH A CAUSE CROWDFUNDING
What is a Rebel with a Cause 2020?
The Rebel with a Cause Project is a media source to bring together individuals in the crafting community to a platform specifically to engage us all in the upcoming election. We believe RWC can bring institutional and sustainable changes in our crafting community through the podcast tour, Be The Change, and the online media platform.
Why is RWC Important to the Crafting Community?
For the last nine months we have had an ongoing conversation about diversity and inclusion in the crafting community. We have heard from many voices from all aspects of the online community. I believe that it’s important to continue to move the conversation forward towards greater changes within the system. I want to utilize my professional background and knowledge to talk to people from different communities across this country face-to-face and online through my Rebel with a Cause (RWC) 2020 project.
19TH AMENDMENT CENTENNIAL COLLABORATION
COST: $19 CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP: As many of you know, I am planning a year long tour called “Be the Change.” It will be a relaunch of my podcast and my goal is to travel across the country to different yarn store communities to have an open discussion on race, diversity, inclusion, and current events in politics. The cost for my team to come can be expensive for a lot of yarn stores so I have come up with an idea to raise money for this tour to support the cost of yarn stores. We are calling this the 19th Amendment Centennial Collaboration. Next year marks the 100th anniversary of the right for women to vote. Romi Hill is designing something very special to commemorate this anniversary and I will be dyeing the yarn to go with the design which will be 300 yards of our superwash single ply mini skeins. We will have the colors from the Women’s Suffrage Movement represented. The cost of this collaboration will be $19 and ALL of the money will go towards the cost for this tour in order to lower the cost for yarn stores. We have 500 slots open and we hope that you can share with your network and sign up as well. Please click link in bio to sign up. THESE WILL BE MAILED OUT last week November

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I just received my Summer Palooza box. Each piece is amazing and so thoughtfully planned. I started with the July collection. I appreciate the beautiful work that went into the @TanneiCasey bag. It is almost too beautiful to use. It is the perfect size to carry, knitting, a wallet and a phone. A Needle runs through it complimented the offering with the cutest stitch markers I have ever seen. The journal will be handy in keeping track when I start Red Freckles with the softest sock yarn from Jilly and Kiddles.
For now, I am having my Coffee by Kee and casting on the Clinkerbell Cowl in a very fun FlowerPower Dreamboat DK. Thank you for a perfect segway in to fall knitting.
