What a yarn! El Pasoan crochets figures of US Sen. Bernie Sanders
First came the memes.
And now comes the adorable crocheted figure of U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders.
El Pasoan Isabel Flores, who has been crocheting since she was 11, said she decided to look into making the doll when she saw all the memes pop up of Sanders at Joe Biden's presidential inauguration.
His look, sitting socially distanced and bundled up in a cozy coat and mittens handmade by a Vermont woman, went viral as a meme hours after the inauguration. His photo has been cropped into the most iconic television and movie scenes, from sitting in the corner with Baby in "Dirty Dancing" to sitting behind Demi Moore in the famed pottery scene in "Ghost."
In the days after, El Pasoans also had fun inserting the senator into photos of iconic El Paso places like The Tap, Chico's Tacos, the Franklin Mountains and at the Chihuahuas baseball stadium, Southwest University Park.
