International Women’s Day takes place on March 8th 2020, celebrating the economic, political, cultural and social achievements of women all over the world.
To celebrate, LoveCrafts.com has created its own range of knit-your-own inspirational women. Top of the list? Meghan Markle.
Appearing to be based on the green dress by Parosh and Line Trench Coat she wore for the WellChild Awards, the Meghan doll is a fairly loose interpretation of the Duchess.
The list of knit-your-own icons includes Malala, Ellie Simmonds, Megan Rapinoe, Rihanna, Oprah, Greta Thunberg and Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
10% of each kit sold will be donated to the Women For Women International charity.
LoveCrafts.com also polled 5000 Brits to ask who they believe is the most inspirational woman.
Topping the list was Meghan Markle, with environmentalist Greta Thunberg in second and singer Rihanna in third.
The full list of inspirational women is as follows:
- Meghan Markle
- Greta Thunberg
- Rihanna
- Malala
- Oprah
- Ellie Simmonds
- Lady Hale
- Jessica Ennis Hill
- Beyoncé
- Jameela Jamil
The site asked users to vote from a list of 20 to compile the list of the most inspirational women, but you were also able to input your own choices and Kerry Mucklowe from This Country was entered four times while Katie Price came up twice.
Edward Griffiths the founder of LoveCrafts.com said, “International Women’s Day offers us an important reminder to celebrate the wonderful women in the world and recognise the work they do to better our society.
We wanted to do something that would bring some crafty joy to the community and be a source of inspiration, and what’s great about these creations is they can either be enjoyed by the maker, or gifted to a friend or relative."
