Attend a Knitting Circle
Knit Democracy Together Knitting Circles
Like the historic sewing circles where abolitionists and suffragists discussed the issues of the day, we’ll gather in modern day craftivist circles. While knitting a collaborative project, we’ll talk about democracy.
Not just for knitters. Knit, crochet, embellish, or make cord with yarn.
During the circle, you’ll connect with other civically-minded crafters. You will:
- gain a greater understanding of the U.S. electoral process
- build confidence to respond to misinformation
- be motivated to engage with voter protection groups to take action
And, of course, you can knit, crochet, or embellish building blocks for a collaborative sculpture during the circle!

A Symbol of Representative Government
In the New Hampshire sessions, we’ll be making constituent building blocks for a sculpture of the NH State House. State capitol buildings symbolize representative government. The variety of building blocks symbolize the variety of people in our communities. They should all be represented in our legislative assemblies.
Here’s the Vermont version of the sculpture. It is adorned with knitted gloves symbolizing people who come together to create government. See how it came together and get inspired to build your state’s knitted capitol building!
