Lion Brand Vanna's Choice Baby Yarn in Berrylicious

Had the very real pleasure last week of visiting the new Lion Brand Yarn Studio near New York's Union Square. It's so effectively merchandised--walls of eye-popping color, people--that I was compelled to buy a ball of 100% acrylic. Mostly just because. But also to facilitate production of quilt squares for Codepink's White House fence cozy scheduled for deployment on Mother's Day. The quilt is part of a 24-hour vigil for women who live in war zones. It will say, "We will not raise our children to kill another mother’s child."

I think it's OK to hold Mr. Obama's feet to the fiber, don't you?
