    Casting Off My Womb

    You may associate knitting with grandmas and the Woman's Institute, but it appears wool and two knitting needles can also be transformed into tools for gender protest.

    Casey Jenkins, 34, is at the centre of an unusual piece of performance art, called Casting Off My Womb, in which she is spending 28 days knitting from a ball of wool which she inserted inside her vagina. She is currently halfway through the project.

    In a video about the enterprise Casey says: ‘If you take a good, hard look at a vulva, you realize it's just a bit of a body. There's nothing that is shocking or scary, you know, nothing that is going to run out and eat you up.

    I wonder what she's knitting? A red flag perhaps?

    I can only hazard a guess at the combination of words you fed into google to come up with this little gem mate.
    Or are you on the mumsnet.com mailing list?

    I'm having a gender protest.

    "If you take a good, hard look at an arse-hole, you realize it's just a bit of a body.
    There's nothing that is shocking or scary, you know, nothing that is going to run out and eat up roadside traffic cones".

    Wonder if she's knitting me a willy-warmer. I'd better go see her for another fitting, see if she's got the length and width right.
    If it's too small then at least I'd have one leg-warmer for the time being.

    I wish more people did knit ,its bastard cold here in Yorkshire and I'm looking for someone to knit me a hat in this pattern,
    As there are only pitifully boring hats for sale in the shops.
    Globalization? it just made things duller.
