Thirty-two hundred blankets. That is how many blankets are needed to create a length of warm, welcoming yarn as long as the concrete wall planned by Trump: 2000 miles of wall. The 40″ x 40″ blankets knitters and crocheters are making will be displayed at the Smart Museum of Art at the University of Chicago beginning July 17th, so the needles are clicking away across the country right now. After the display of protest ends on December 17th, the blankets will be distributed to resettlement organizations for refugees and immigrants. If you want to participate, check out their site Welcome Blanket.
