Knits, Purls, Stump Socks and Outrage

The knitting and protesting grannies were not to be deterred.
Not by the rain (wool retains heat when wet, anyway).
Not by the handful of loud counterprotesters at the steps of the military recruiting station in Times Square, just north of West 43rd Street.
And not by the relentlessness of the war they were protesting on its five-year anniversary on Wednesday, as seen in the statistics they read, one by one: Iraqi civilian dead, June 2007: 2,085. Alaska, U.S. Military, wounded: 108. American Samoa, U.S. Military dead: 7.
After each, they would holler, “Not one more!”
About three dozen members of the Granny Peace Brigade (and their counterparts, the musical Raging Grannies) gathered to knit, sing and wear signs saying “No Blood for Oil” and “Not Our Children, Not This War,” among other slogans.
Some of the women are returning to the scene of the crime, or the crime they were acquitted of, anyway.
In October 2005 they staged a sit-in at the entrance of the recruiting center, after trying, unsuccessfully, to enlist and take the places of young people who still had their lives ahead of them. Eighteen were arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, but in April 2006 a judge declared them not guilty, after determining, with the help of videos of the protest, that they had not blocked people from entering the recruiting station.
The site, the Armed Forces Career Center, made headlines recently when a bicyclist, again caught on videotape, left a bomb outside the station in the predawn hours of March 6, breaking windows and twisting a door frame, but causing no injuries.
Today, there were just elderly women singing protest songs and engaging in the subversive act of knitting.
Molly Klopot, 88, who was also arrested in 2005, addressed the group, saying, “The grannies have a special responsibility to say, ‘Get off your fannies and get on the street and stop this thing.’”
She was not knitting, because she is legally blind, she explained, but planned to hold a skein or two if anyone needed to wind a ball of yarn.
Several held up a chilling finished item: the stump sock, for soldiers who have lost limbs, a little inverted cap labeled:
Wear in good health. 75% acrylic, 25% wool. Machine wash, gentle cycle, tumble dry.
Joan Kaye, 80, was starting one, standing and juggling four double-pointed needles. She said she knits regularly at a silent antiwar vigil at Rockefeller Center every Wednesday at 4:30. (”It’s not always too silent,” she confided.)
Roberta Bloomquist, whose grandson had joined the Army last week, came from Dahlonega, Ga. to hold up a painting she had made of a battlefield scene melded into a flag. “We’ve ruined that country and we’ve ruined that country’s infrastructure, and I don’t think we belong there,” she said of Iraq. “We can negotiate. We have other sources to buy oil from.”
Marie Runyon, who turns 93 on Thursday, was one of the arrested and acquitted grannies, and spoke proudly of her two antiwar grandchildren. Carrying two canes and wearing a plastic foldable rain hat, she suggested, loudly and saltily, that the nearby counterprotesters should be quiet.
“Give Iraq our Constitution, we’re not using it,” she said into the microphone.
Later, she described other activism she has been involved in, including fund-raising, fair housing and a stint in the New York State Legislature in the 1970s.
“Hell,” said Ms. Runyon, who earned her way through Berea College during the Depression by knitting, “the pack is too big and too wrong. It’s the small groups I follow.”
In the background, the songs continued, with gravelly voices joining in a new version of “You’re a Grand Old Flag”:
It’s a sad old flag
and it looks like a rag
when exploited
for selling a war…
Their lyric sheet included the group’s mission statement:
Every stitch will be a symbol of our determination to end this war and restore our nation’s priorities, to constructive action, responsibility, and caring for all.
Norman Siegel, the civil rights lawyer who had represented them in court, said the women had not needed a permit to protest there, because the traffic island where they met was a public area.
“We decided to go ahead and hold our war rally at this site, because of its long history of First Amendment-protected, peaceful protest and opposition to the war,” he said.
“The grannies are loud enough and zany enough that they don’t need a microphone,” he said, so they did not need a permit for that, either. “These grannies are great Americans who consistently express courage and patriotism. I say repeatedly to New Yorkers and Americans, listen to your grannies. Your grannies know what is up.”
Other protests were scheduled around the city for the fifth anniversary of the war on the steps of the New York Public Library earlier this morning, as well as: at the Plaza in front of Woori Bank, 32nd Street and Broadway; a silent march to 73rd Street and Broadway from West End Avenue and 86th Street; and a protest march from Grand Army Plaza in Brooklyn — all at 5:30 p.m.; also, a candlelight vigil at Madison Square Park at 7 p.m., and a rally at Rutgers Presbyterian Church at 73rd Street and Broadway at 7:30 p.m.
