Pride and Toebeans

**Knit a Pride and Toebeans Cowl: Celebrate Love, Diversity, and Community** Introducing the Pride and Toebeans Cowl, a heartfelt knitting pattern inspired by Alexandra Billings’ invitation to show solidarity with the LGBTQIA/BBIMP community on Broadway. Late in 2021 and early 2022, Alexandra, who portrayed the enchanting Madame Morrible, encouraged individuals to express their support by layering handwritten notes of solidarity on her dressing room door. This beautiful act of unity sparked inspiration, especially within our alternative high school, known as the "last chance" high school, where we focus on providing personalized, student-centered education. Our mission is to uplift students who have faced trauma in traditional schooling environments, particularly those from the LGBTQIA/BBIMP/non-binary communities. With this in mind, we decided to contribute to Alexandra's wall of love and inject some color—and warmth—into our shared journey. Knit your own Pride and Toebeans Cowl today! This cozy accessory not only celebrates diversity and intersectionality but is also a wonderful way to bring the LGBTQIA/BIPOC message of love and acceptance into your wardrobe. The knitting pattern is straightforward and suitable for knitters of all skill levels, offering a chance to create something meaningful and vibrant. All profits from the sales of this delightful knitting pattern will be donated to The Trevor Project, an organization dedicated to providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to LGBTQIA youth.
