We gathered for the photo and then marched through downtown Bainbridge Island to the ferry. It took 35 minutes to empty the park…there were a lot of people!

I used the Pussyhat pattern and added a smile and giant eyes

I’m looking for good sign ideas for tomorrow’s #nokings rally. I’ve got one side figured out but need something for the reverse side. Any suggestions?

Two weeks until Halloween. Time to break out the fuzzy bats and disco spiders. Because I’m classy.

Halloween decorations: two black bats with very fuzzy bodies, and two sparkly spiders, one with orange dots and the other with green dots on its body

So rude!

The pussyhat pattern is so quick and easy to knit, too. I made 15 before the first Women’s March. Plus it seems fitting for it to have a comeback, with a twist 🐸
