Condom Amulets
A few days ago I wrote about Knitting and Safe Sex and the knitted and crochet condom amulet project mentioned at A Little Red Hen.
My needles have been busy with one of the basic patterns . . . based on the ball band dish cloth pattern. Here is a picture of the first three bags I’ve finished.
Yeah, I know . . . black on black doesn’t photograph very well . . . but they are all three from the same basic pattern. I just changed the “button” attachments - two of them actually have plastic or glass beads for the hook.
Black and red . . . the colors of one of the local high schools - the one my two oldest grandkids attend. I don’t think the small town atmosphere would allow me to distribute the condom amulets there. So, I hope to get several more finished to take to the local Planned Parenthood and the Health Clinic as both teach on and treat for STDs. What better place, huh?
And, next year during my annual lady-xam I might take some to my gyno doc. I’ve already had my appointment for this year, so missed that opportunity.
Oh, the purple? Well, as it is my age group that seemed to have started the movement - I thought it would only be appropriate to have the purple and red in honor of the Red Hats out there.
an aside here . . . Lessa has topped 100,000 visitors to Big Brother Craze this month!!!! Are you tracking the “hampsters”? Are you shaking your head as you watch and listen? Go on over and give Lessa some BB lovin’. She’s snarky - she’s witty - she makes me laugh. She’ll do the same for you!
