need more evidence that knitting is cool?

a knitter on the punk knitters community of livejournal remarked, with this new court and the way things are going, i may as well give my reproductive organs to the Supreme Court. turns out there already existed a pattern for knitting a uterus - yep, that's right, and i'd seen the pattern before she mentioned it, actually. so she said, hey, why don't i just knit a uterus! why don't a bunch of us knit uteruses and fling them on the steps of the Court in protest!!

bam, instant consciousness-raising. this is probably totally what inga muscio had in mind while writing cunt.

so now the protest is being planned by members of the D.C. stitch'n'bitch. they're applying for a D.C. protest permit and everything. how fucking awesome is that?
