Elijah’s Adventures in Glasgow

by ysoldateague November 14, 2007

Today Elijah accompanied me and my friend Joanna to Glasgow. From a dress buying point of view it was totally unsuccessful, but we had a lot of fun. Elijah’s collection of different transport experiences continued. First we took the train. He enjoyed peering down at everyone from the luggage rack, but preferred looking out the window.

Then we took the underground, Elijah waited patiently on the platform and was very excited to see the train emerge from its tunnel.

Elijah got rather bored while we rummaged through racks of vintage dresses but he loved climbing on this fruit and veg display.

Tired of shopping we went to this adorably cute little cafe called Pop near the Hillhead end of the Gt Western Road. You know how much I love to bake and I’m not easily impressed by baking, but this place’s cake were really good.

Elijah made some friends,

and investigated a bubble full of cupcakes.

Unfortunately I’m very clumsy and somehow threw my coffee everywhere. Oops. Elijah got rather splashed and now the poor lil guy is taking a bath. Sorry Elijah!

We have enjoyed seeing people's Joy mitts on Ravelry and Instagram and although the kits are nearly sold out now, it is a pattern that can be done in many different colours, depending on what flag/colour scheme you want to use.

We have made genderqueer, asexual, non-binary and pansexual flag charts.

A little less invisible

guest post joy pride

This post first appeared on Whitney’s own blog and she kindly allowed us to share it with a wider audience. It has truly brought me so much joy to see knitters making and wearing their Joy mitts and, via a knitting project, feeling seen and visible. I know that Whitney’s experiences of what it means to choose to be visibly bi would resonate with many of you. Thank you for sharing your story with all of us Whitney.

guest post

Introducing the first in an ongoing series of guest posts. I'm honoured that we're beginning with this vital letter from Emi Ito.

Emi has been outspoken about the cultural appropriation of the kimono in fashion and has helped many makers and designers find a less hurtful approach to naming their patterns and products.
