Description: 81 squares were made by 10 members of the community and then 5 members lovingly assembled each square to create a trans includsive pride flag with a black and brown border. 17 fancy squares cut through the blanket in an X shape with a range of designs shifting like viewed through a kaleidoscope with a rainbow at the center. At 5 pounds, this blanket is a light weighted blanket. Yarn is caron super soft acrylic yarn, and per label can be washed on delicate cycle but hand wash/spot cleaning is recommended. Dry flat. Cat and dog fur/dander was incorporated into the blanket as part of their quality control and supervision so caution is recommended in case of allergies.
Dimensions: 60" x 60"
Artist Statement: The Queer Joy Community (originally the Queer Joy Book Club) is a community including book clubs, craft clubs, a community garden, movie club, and more. Equally important to socializing is our mutual aid and community support both within our Queer Joy Community and outward to the larger queer community. This project had 13 people contributing over 9 months to crochet granny squares and connect them all together, including multiple people to crochet to participate in this project. A labor of love from many hands, built together.
