Equality: simplifying the fundraising pattern
There were two things running round my head the last couple of days as I was swatching:
- If a few people are unhappy with Mercy with this small a number of people contributing their opinions, how will that be magnified for a larger audience? I want this pattern to appeal to as many people as possible. I don’t want to spend a lot of time explaining it.
- I want this to be not too complicated to knit. I’d like it to be accessible to as many people as possible. Three words was making that goal harder – it’s a pattern of twenty purls on a knit background.
I woke up at three in the morning last night, and my brain said, “Equality.” That’s what I’m going to do. One word. Eight purls on a knit background.
I doubt anyone on my side of this problem would deny that equality is a desirable goal.
I’m going to make the stitch pattern for Justice/Mercy/Equality available for those who want to use it, but I’m going to make the pattern I publish for the fundraiser just be Equality.
That’s fine with me.

Oh, good. Thanks!
To me equality (or lack thereof) sums up the core of the issue. All the best in this, Naomi.
Exactly. And sometimes simplicity is best. Thank you!
