As a tribute to Michelle (and all of our illustrious First Ladies past), the Flotus Shawl was born. Grab a gorgeous gradient, mix in a sprinkle, and you’ve got potato chip knitting at its very finest. Fun, fast, and with a truly presidential punch, you’ll find this shawl flying off of your needles and around your neck.

I will continue to honor those Floti that we so admire, by donating $2 of every sale of this single pattern from this point forward to Planned Parenthood. So many women rely on PP for their health care needs, and the administration is threatening to defund it. I myself used Planned Parenthood throughout my twenties, as I was living a life in which medical insurance was not a reality. I’m sure a lot of us have, and we all realize what an important part of healthcare the organization is.

Women’s rights are human rights.
