Before readings the article I did not understand how knitting or just crafting in general could get any kind of point across. N0w that I have read it I am able t0 make way more sense with the topic. I understand how knitting circle can show involvement in many things that happen in the word. With the group members reading things with each other keeping the topic alive and also knitting relevant things for certain issues. For example, for women's rights, a way women could get there point across by craft was to put what they think about the situation on their art piece. These crafts were sold, donated, and often hung somewhere in the public for it to be seen. It was also brought to my attention that points you want to get across to multiple people don't have to be loud like riots but can be quiet and peaceful through crafting. The art of knitting is more powerful than anyone can imagine and this is because it is personally being made by you.
