Here's a picture of a hat I crocheted. I wanted to take a moment to encourage people to participate in fiber art. It saves in many ways:
- It makes a statement in the form of guerilla yarn art

- It makes people feel better when they're sick
http://www.headhuggers.org/
- It makes people aware of their consumption habits
http://www.counterfeitcrochet.org/
- It makes people think about the amazing environment in which we live

I think The Plain Janes would be on board, especially with the guerilla yarn art.
Check out your local craft store or do a search online for "crochet" or "knitting" to learn one of these excellent arts!
