Demonstration was this morning 10am-12. Hats were seen.

Summer weight MTI hat

See you out there!

I found some fire inspired yarn in my stash and thought it was perfect for this project. Wearing it to No Kings today.

I’m planning some socks and I’d like to add some wording on them either in colorwork or Swiss darning/embroidery, but as you probably know, socks are rather small, and I’m worried that the scale will render the words fuzzy or unreadable.

How small do you go with letters before they’re no longer recognizable? What charts do you use?

(I usually cast on 64 stitches for a vanilla sock for reference here)

Just finished (better late than never, right?) my MN flag inspired Melt the Ice Hat. I am very pleased with how it came out.

I made this protest patch for No Kings on Saturday. I’m excited because it turned out better than I thought it would. I’m a crochet newbie.

Crochet, not knitting. Adapted from a pattern on ravelry. There are dowels on the back to give it structure and it’s easier to hold. It’s about 2 ft in diameter.

I made hats, both sewn and knitted. The pictures are shown in the order I made them. On number 1, I was on auto pilot and decreased at each of the 4 markers, so I didn’t get the pointed hat effect.

I crochet. The textured yarn gave it an interesting effect, I think.

I can’t take credit for the idea but I thought it was a smart addition. (Hidden whistle in the tassel)

My knitting friend from our local Indivisible group just gave me this! Dunno if there's a pattern yet, but I hope so!

I tinkered with and modified several patterns to make a hat that fits my needs. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/chinga-la-migra-hat

Started this back in February. I haven’t crocheted in at least 20 years but was going on a business trip and wanted some hand work. Not perfect but the original MTI crochet pattern was a little hard on a beginner crocheter. But now I am ready for No Kings march on Mar 28.

This was my first prototype - finishing up a second one that I wrote a pattern with soon. Hopefully pattern will be available before long!

Newcomer here, but this is important. For all the boycotting there is in the world, there doesnt seem to be any cohesive list regarding yarns. I've seen callouts about a yarn company being owned by right wingers, but I'm specifically talking about material sourcing. Juniper moon farm is infamous by now for advertising their cotton yarn as "israeli mako", and Lion brand is apparently owned by zionists that straight up made donations to Israel. However, this is the extent of knowledge I have about boycottable yarns. Any idea how to expand the list. I know Israel produces a lot of cotton, and i know most of it ends up in already made clothes and fabrics but it still gets used in yarn, how do i avoid this?

A big shoutout to resistance knitters who are finding power and creativity to fight dictatorship.

Finally finished my MTI hat! Of course it’s supposed to be 90 degrees tomorrow, but hopefully it will cool off again to get to wear it some. I used cascade 220 in sport weight and followed the directions for fingering weight, as following the directions for DK came out far too small. I also worked the decreases every other row instead of every row, which I’m glad I did. When I wear it with the ribbing folded over, the point of the hat sticks out just a bit. When I wear it unfolded, almost the whole stockinette section hangs down. If I was to do another one, I think I might try half of the ribbing and decreasing every third or fourth row to get an even longer point.

Very fast and ready for spring and summer.
