What with all the war & terrorist activity on the news at the moment, I came across this and thought what a wonderful way for knitters to make a difference

You might still get blown to bits for some political reason you don't know anything about, but at least it's pretty.

I've seen an article about that somewhere very recently. Must go and track it down :suspect: .

Here (http://www.glittyknittykitty.co.uk/archive/2006/04/policitized_pin.html) we are. And more information here (http://www.flashdesign.dk/marianne/?lang=eng).

Here's a quote from one of the article, with some backgrpound information about the project:
The pink covering consists of more than a 3000 pink squares- 15 x 15 centimetres – knitted by volunteers from Denmark, the UK , USA and several other countries. People were invited through Cast Off Knitting Club, from friend to friend either by word of mouth or over the internet, and by a number of knitting groups made for this specific project, or other already existing knitting groups.. The physical and personal acknowledgement in all of these knitted patches are, when joined together, a powerful visualization of thoughtfulness. The main impression of the knitted tank is that it consists of hundreds of patches knitted by many different people in different ways: single colored, stripes with bows or hearts, loosely knitted, closely knitted, various knitted patterns, ….. They represent a common acknowledgement of a resistance to the war in Iraq.
