Notes

“And love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love;
cannot be killed or swept aside”
—-Lin-Manuel Miranda


There is no way that the kit included enough yarn to knit the final6 row border, and it seemed cuddly anyway, so I edged it with an icord bindoff. Not as clean a look as icord knit from the back but still very pleased with it. Only 2 grams of MC remain.

Purchased kit from Jimmy Beans

From the pattern:

“The rainbow flag was first flown on June 25, 1978, at United Nations Plaza in San Francisco. Gilbert Baker, a gay artist and activist designed and hand sewed the first Pride flag at the behest of Harvey Milk, California’s first openly gay elected official, as a symbol of hope for the LGTBQ community.

Each of the shades in this eight-color flag were given specific meanings by Baker: Sex, Life, Healing, Sunlight, Nature, Magic/Art, Serenity, and Spirit.”
