Earth Pathways Showcase

It is hard to put into words what we all felt, as we rolled out mile upon mile of hand knitted pink peace scarf between Aldermaston and Burghfield, one blue skied day in the Summer of 2014. It turned out to be way more than 7 miles, but no one is quite sure how long it actually was in the end! Every metre had a story, and this beautiful vision of peace and activism represented thousands of hours of knitting as it snaked its way over the countryside. We joined together in solidarity, because we believe that more nuclear weapons in the world don’t create security or invest in people or move us towards a safe, peaceful, equitable world. We have voices, and knitting hands, and we used them. Everyone smiled and shone as we rolled out a truly beautiful symbol of our need for change, for Love, without boundary or border.

And the scarf lives on! It has been lovingly unjoined, and repurposed into blankets, that have been sent to Syria and Tanzania, and other places in the world where they are needed.

Wool Against Weapons, pink and purposeful, people and Peace.
