The post went live on Instagram on March 25, a year ago: âCalling All Knitters! We need squares in any color you have at home, using up scraps to help us create an amazing blanket.â The idea, as Colvilleâs Molly Molloy and Lucinda Chambers explained it, was to give their followers a lockdown activity, to trigger a collective impulse to connect; then theyâd put the squares together and auction off the blanket to benefit CADMI, a Milan, Italy, refuge for women suffering from domestic abuse. Before long, Molloy and Chambers had enough squares for five blankets. Next week, two of the five will be offered at Sothebyâs Contemporary Curated auction in London.
