Love Rises

 

Begun in the spring of 2022, Love Rises is a justice enterprise knitting socks and blankets to reflect hope through landscape patterns in soft color palettes. Each knitted item holds a story of connection, of a single thread of yarn that is carefully hand-woven into a new product, and of connection between women refugees and the world.

Becca and the CCJ along with Susan Ferguson, US Director, and Maryna Bohun, Ukrainian Director, created the Love Rises knitting cooperative as a way to bring women together to knit and create community. We began with 6 knitters and have since helped 14 women find hope and financial security in the midst of war. 

"We are in a revolution of dignity,…we want to feel only huge gratitude to the real people who supported and continue supporting us Ukrainians. You are all among these people!  🇺🇸

Because of your help, support, prayers, and love, we feel reliance and confidence... All our knitters have a dream - to come back to their homes and be together with their relatives, people, who are alive and in safety…We all dream about Victory! “

Maryna Bohun, Director of Love Rises
