"What can a bunch of women in silly hats do?"






GO LOCAL!!!

Largest rally in history of the Utah capitol happening now despite big snowstorm

?1485211504

?1485220325

While people in Utah marched on Saturday in Park City, Ogden, St. George and even tiny Kanab, Planned Parentood asked us to march today in Salt Lake City. It is also snowing and temps are dropping.

People sure have turned out! It looks to be the largest rally in the history of the capitol!

And tomorrow we are visiting the offices of Lee and Hatch.

Here’s to keeping the momentum going! Go local!

Update: unofficial count is 12,000 — on a Monday afternoon during work hours!

almost finished with the first one. It's a very simple pattern, knit flat and then seam the sides to create the kitty ears. I bought enough watermelon pink yarn to make five or six. I plan to carry a couple with me, and if anyone compliments the one I'm wearing, I'll give her one of her own.

If these hats (not my hats in particular but the pink pussy hats) really take off, I could see knitting dozens of them. They're the kind of knitting you could do while watching tv or chatting.
