This pattern was included in the BlackKnitLit kit.

What’s better than supporting Black Dyers and Knitters? Reading Black Literature!

Join us as we discuss A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry and knit socks using the lazy after thought heel method.

This KAL is about being seen and heard. When I read stories by Black authors, I feel both seen and heard. Knitting gives me a sense of spiritual peace. With BlackKnitLit I bring this wholeness to you. By joining together, we can create a sense of community that has been lost in the pandemic. And by knitting together, reading a story that is not often told, we have an opportunity to strengthen our diverse community.
