pussyhats | 10.

32367591715_7210acffee_cI have knit 10 hats for friends and family who will march with me on Washington this coming Saturday. If you don't know about the Pussy Hat Project, read more about it here. Today, I registered all of my hats with their website.I'm pleased I managed to make a hat for everyone on my list in less than a week. I wanted to include as much of my own flair as possible--so there are chunky hats, striped hats, and interpretations on "pink", which is the color you are meant to knit your hats in.Most of these were knit up with yarns in my stash--quite honestly, I'm not a big "pink" gal, so I was surprised I had as much in my collection as I did; and I purchased a few chunkier yarns when it got closer to the wire of my deadline. Yarns include Manos Del Uruguay, Malabrigo Merino Worsted, Malabrigo Rasta, Noro Silk Garden, and Madelinetosh Tosh Vintage.Each of these will be packaged with a copy of We Should All Be Feminists, which I feel is essential reading my marching friends can check out as we rest at our campground the night before hitting the pavement.I also helped make a handful of signs we will carry. There's nothing like handmade protest signs. I hope to remember this day, one day, even though I had hoped we wouldn't need this kind of solidarity in 2017.31525032204_e4cda981b0_cDid you knit hats for the march? Will you be there, too?
