This hat is made with 100% Merino wool yarn by Briar Patch Fibre from Swanky Mountain in Gilette, WY. This was the first skein I bought. The combination of the beautiful color and the indication on the yarn label that Briar Patch is LGBTQIA+ affirming inspired the idea to turn my yarn crawl purchases into hats for the GSAFE auction. I chose a pattern to highlight the beautiful blue color and its variegation. The yarn feels amazing to the touch and was a joy to knit with. Sized as an adult large but could fit on a smaller head as a slouchy hat.

This hat is made with 100% Wool by Tronstad Ranch from Cowgirl Yarn in Laramie, WY. This was our last stop, where we completed the yarn crawl. While it was the last skein I bought, it was the first hat I knit, because I immediately knew what pattern it needed. The yarn color is called "balsam", and I picked a pattern that reminded me of fir trees. This one is my sister's favorite. Sized as an adult medium/large.

This hat is made with 100% Merino wool by Polka Dot Sheep from Knit on Pearl in Jackson, WY. The shop before this one was unexpectedly closed, but the owner of Knit on Pearl graciously gave us credit for visiting the other shop in addition to hers, so I bought two skeins from her. I used a reversible pattern in honor of the flexibility we needed to complete the crawl. Sometimes change is good. Wear this hat with either side out, and change it whenever you want. Sized as an adult medium/large.

I know trans persons of various ages: teen, 30 year-old and 40 year-old. I will do whatever it takes so that the younger LGBTQ+ persons thrive! I love to knit and the auction is a concrete way to support GSAFE.
This shawl has four sections and is knit with four colors. Each section is unique so this wrap is a bold fashion statement. The yarn is sport weight, warm but not heavy. Wrap yourself in love! Care instructions from Briggs and Little: wash by hand in lukewarm water with a mild soap. Squeeze water through garment rather than rubbing. Rubbing will cause the wool to felt. Rinse twice in lukewarm water. Squeeze out as much water as possible before laying garment to dry. Do not dry in direct sunlight or with artificial heat.

Giving back to the organization that gave me so much. GSAFE helped me build my confidence and find my community.
Each year, my GSAFE donation starts with searching for the perfect pattern and yarn for the project. This year, I selected the pattern "More Than the Month" by Skeinanigans (Ellie, she/they), available on Ravelry at: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/more-than-the-month. I was able to find most of the rainbow colors using locally-dyed yarn from Knit Circus (https://knitcircus.com/), but the special yarn with cream, blue, and pink representing the trans colors was more difficult to find. They ultimately were purchased from an independent dyer in North Carolina (Blue Barn Fibers, https:/bluebarnfibers.com/) who is able to care for her disabled child through having a home business. From start to finish, this shawl has been designed and resourced from people who support the LGBTQIA+ community, and it was knit with warm thoughts of love and support for the community supported by GSAFE.

The creation of this hat was the result of a special confluence of the theme of this year's auction and some yarn I found while looking for yarn for the shawl I also knit for the GSAFE auction. Independent dyer Holly Madison at Blue Barn Fibers, https://bluebarnfiber.com/, in North Carolina created her spring collection based on poems by poet Andrea Gibson. The colorway that I loved, and which matched the theme for the Auction, which was "Creation is Louder than Destruction", based on the final stanza of Andrea's poem "Yellow Bird." Picasso said he'd paint with his own wet tongue on the dusty floor of a jail cell if he had to. We have to create; it is the only thing louder than destruction; it is the only chance the bars are gonna break. Our hands full of colour reaching towards the sky- a brush stroke in the dark. It is not too late. That starry night- it is not yet dry." Although Andrea has now left us, her words provide us with reminders of the power of creation to change what is to what should be, and the work continues. The words on the hat read "Create + Resist+" around the hat. I designed the hat, so there is no pattern available.

Artist Statment:
As a former GSA leader during a time of national backlash in the early 2000s, the org that became GSAFE did so much to protect and uplift our community. Today, more than ever, LGBTQ+ youth need strong advocates to let them not only exist, but thrive.
