Variation on a simple lace weave, inspired by Tina Ignell’s blanket in @vavmagasinet On 10 shafts I added a half drop repeat so the little pinwheels make diagonal lines. #weaving #vävning #glimåkra #cotton #bomull #lace

TW: state-sanctioned violence, self-harm It is 12 days since the Australian election and more than 30 suicide attempts on Manus and in Port Moresby. The 400+ men, who approached Australia for refuge in 2013 and have been locked up and tortured by Australia in PNG for the 6 years since then, need your urgent assistance. Write. Donate. Protest. Agitate. Stand vigil. Pray. You don’t have to know what the solution is before you act. Turn to the person next to you and invite them to join you. Carry a sign on public transport. Put a sign in your car window. Raise funds and donate to @caradwa and @asrc1 . Contact your MP. Contact the press. Stand vigil. Think of the young man who swallowed 15 needles. The men who have tried to set themselves on fire or hang themselves. Think of their friends who over and over again put out the flames, cut down the ropes, staunch the blood. Think of the men who take their friends to the hospital and are turned away. Australia has killed 12 already. No more. @scottmorrisonmp @albomp
