The campaign hit 108 hats.
And India started this by wondering if Ellen or I knew the old song that goes, Inch by inch, row by row, Gonna make this garden grow.
Oh yes–I used to play it and sing it to my kids when they were little, all the time, and I used to sing it occasionally with my knitting, only with, Stitch by stitch row by row and riffing from there.
They started playing with the lyrics and emailed me and Ellen happened to start hers off with that same line. I like that.
So here’s what I’ve thought of for WHNHH so far, and I’d love to hear what anyone else might come up with:
Gonna let our Congress know:
Got to make your peace, although
There are differing points of view…
Stitch by stitch, row by row,
We constituents are telling you, so…
Work out ways to help US grow
Now you can wear your thinking cap too.
Stitch by stitch, row by row,
Take a stand against the status quo
Speak for me with civility
Take the day, and make it brand new.
Oh, and by the way, you might want to look here (with thanks to Norma for the link). Jon Stewart’s producer. They can’t tell: is this satire or is it serious?
Are knitters serious?
What do you think?
