Portland Frog Hat

Woman wearing a bright green frog hat

I finished knitting my second frog hat while peacefully protesting down at the ICE facility yesterday. It’s a quick knit, but I knit it twice because the first one was a bit bigger than I wanted. I’ll ravel it and knit a second (third?) hat. Knitting it a bit smaller also means that I have enough yarn for two hats.

Do you want to knit your own super bulky weight Portland Frog Hat? I wrote up detailed instructions; you can find them here. I just updated it with notes for worsted weight yarn, too.

I doubled down on my bag game yesterday. Both discontinued, but well-loved.

I was heartened to see protesters (knitters, painters, readers), aid workers from Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition, and clergy support yesterday.

    Any illegal migrant must immigrate to the United States pursuant to the immigration laws on the books. This means having a background check and no criminal records, either in the U.S. or country of origin, having a sponsor and signing and agreeing to assimilate to the customs and ways of the United States and American people. If they do not meet these requirements, they must be deported. No other country allows unlimited immigration without vetting and adhering to certain immigration criteria — nor should the United States.
