It's Gonna be a Stitch!

March 8th 2026

Washington D.C. USA

10am - Sunset

Location: The National Union Building 918 F St NW, Washington, DC 20004
Time: 10 AM – 6 PM (doors open at 9 am)

Participants arrive in frog hats, green bandanas, or full frog costumes — each one a symbol of repair.

Throughout the day we will have incredible speakers as well as craft stations inviting people to:

Knit, crochet, and embroider collective fabric arts pieces.
Tie together yarn into a collective tapestry reading KNOT TODAY, FASCISM.
Crochet granny squares for a giant “Knot today, fascism” tapestry display
Walk through the Mall

At sunset, all threads are tied together and raised — an act of collective remaking.

Overview

Angry Knit-In DC is a nationwide fabiric arts based craft event turning fiber arts into feminist resistance.
Hundreds of crafters, artists, and activists will converge on the National Mall to weave, knit, crochet, and frog the fabric of democracy — unraveling the knots of patriarchy and authoritarianism so we can remake something better.

Led by Daniella Mestyanek Young (known online as Knitting Cult Lady), an author, veteran, and movement organizer, the event reframes “women’s work” as revolutionary work.
The frog, both costume and concept, has become the cheeky mascot of this uprising: we’re not burning it all down — we’re ripping it out and re-stitching it right.

Mission

To unite women, crafters, and allies in a joyful, creative act of political repair.

To show that the way forward isn’t denial or despair — it’s frogging what’s failed and crafting something new together.

We will knot be unraveled by fascism! We will frog the system and start again.

Core Messages

Frog the System: Undo what’s wrong, rebuild what’s right.
Craft = Care = Courage: Every stitch is a stand, every knot a connection.
Community Over Control: Authoritarianism isolates; crafting gathers.
Anger Is Creative Energy: We turn our fury into fabric.

Visual & Symbolic Identity

Colors: Magenta (power) • Green (frog/resilience)
Motif: The Frog — the fearless ripper and re-stitcher.
Texture: Yarn, rope, canvas, and recycled fabric.
