No Kings | PDXKnitterati

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.

knitters and painters — 3 needle bind off time!

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

I forgot! Last week was WWKIPDay, Worldwide Knit in Public Day. Did you knit in public? I had the option to knit at IKEA in the morning, but it was one too many activities for me that day.

I did bring a small project to the No Kings demonstration in downtown Portland. The crowd size was reported as 50,000 people exercising their right to peacefully protest. It was a good WWKIP/No Kings/Pride (halleluy’all!) multi-tasking day. I used my Lemonwood Mini-minder to hold my yarn while I was knitting a dishcloth. I did *not* want to bring my 2 color brioche assigned pooling project!
