My pussy hat came in the mail today!

[CTyankee]

It was knitted by a woman in Maine. It is lovely and warm but now it's a little too warm outside to wear it. But I'll do it anyway. I am so proud of it...

1. How did you find it?

My wife and daughters want them for future events.

2. DUer crazycatlady makes them.

She made one for me, and she does very nice work. PM her and she'll probably make one for you.

[guillaumeb]

4. Thanks VO.

[CTyankee]

7. does she live in Canaan, ME? If so, I'll bet it's her. I can't remember shit so forgive me...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. No, she's in New Jersey.

There must be several busy knitters on DU.

[CTyankee]

11. I got it by googling "where can I get a pussy hat." I got lots of possible sources and just picked o

It's in a nice pink shade...

12. I don't live in ME, NJ

26. I found mine on Etsy

This was before the march so there were a lot but it might be worth a look. I bet there are still some crafters selling some.

3. LOL, I got one, too, but it's been pushing 60 here in Michigan for a week.

In February. We had thunderstorms all night long. Scary. Yeah, climate change is a liberal hoax. ARRGH!

It's supposed to cool down in the 30's, so maybe I'll get to wear it a day or two before the temps go back up into the 50's.

5. Sounds like they need to design a summer version of it...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. Maybe just cat ears on a headband, which you can get at a costume shop.

[crazycatlady]

13. Hot topic has several cat ear headbands

True to my screen name, I wore cat ears before they were symbols of the Resistance.

[KewlKat]

21. that was my thought as well.....some summer version to preserve the movement

at all the protests to come.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

25. They should be bright pink, then,

so it's obviously a carryover - the summer version of the knit hats.

8. Wait...It's warm in Maine??!?!

It's March 1st!

[CTyankee]

10. I'm not in Maine. I'm in New Haven, CT.

[marybourg]

15. Enjoy your short stay.

[catsudon]

16. i wanted to get 10 so I got the cheapest that i could find

they're not hand made, but i don't expect much at 9.99 per hat.

[CTyankee]

17. I think I paid just under $20. Ten bucks sounds like a good deal...

[Doreen]

18. My rent just went down so now I can get a pussy hat!!!!!

I am so happy.

[crazycatlady]

19. I make them so let me know if you need one

[Doreen]

22. What state are you in and how much do you charge?

[crazycatlady]

24. $25 I'm in NJ

[Doreen]

27. I am all the way in Washington state.

What do you make them with?

[crazycatlady]

28. Love Washington State

Hoping to move there in the next 2 years. I ran an IE for a state senate campaign in Vancouver and fell in love with the area.

I make them with standard yarn. Most of them are acrylic yarn (which is 99% of the yarn you find at a craft store). I have 5 shades of pink available as well as other colors.

In the next 24 hours, I'm donating $5 from every hat to PP in a hateful pastor's name.

[Doreen]

29. I live in a small town..red town...scary town.

I am not able to get one until the 3rd. I have $3 to my name at the moment. We can talk then about it. I can tell you that I could not find one in my county.

[DinahMoeHum]

30. Would that pastor be Greg Locke, by any chance?

[CTyankee]

20. good. glad to hear it! enjoy!

[Doreen]

23. I have just been bouncy all day. On the 3rd I can order one.
