Naked Knitting for Autism
The News Tribune
Knitters occasionally drop a stitch.
But when a whole clutch of them drops every stitch, then smiles for the camera and makes a calendar, that’s something else.
Meet, then, the women of Knotty Knitters, Pierce County’s own calendar girls.
Marsha Cunningham is their ringleader on this project, managing photos, design, sales and marketing. She’s also the grandmother of Josef and Mollee Cunningham, 7-year-old twins with autism.
The children are the inspiration for the 2011 Knitting Naked for Autism Calendar featuring eight Pierce County knitters and one from New York State, tastefully draped in knit goods. Except for the shot in which they’re standing behind a hedge, laughing and wearing only hand-knit hats.
