[CTyankee]

I think it would be appreciated here in the People's Republic of New Haven...

2. Go on ETSY and search "Pussy Hat". You will find lots and lots of different varieties! Many of them

are hand made.

I didn't have time before the March and standing in line in the AM for coffee, a woman handed me one... lots were given out Saturday

6. Go to pussyhatproject.com for the pattern!

If you're not already a knitter, it's a good reason to learn. And it's super-easy! Would make a great first project! (Always eager to induct yet another person into the Yarn Cult!)

7. I have cats. Nothing involving yarn is possible.

I'm not the "crafty" sort anyhow. I'd rather buy things other people made because anything I made would look like crap.

[ncgrits]

13. LOL! Me too!

Avid knitter and cat lady! Sometimes it is trying for sure!

[CTyankee]

9. I cannot knit, altho I would love to have that talent...

[femmocrat]

18. Some people made them from pink fleece.

They would be easy to sew.... just a big rectangle.

8. You can find a lot of them on etsy.

There are different styles, colors and prices.

10. My mom's making me one

She saw them in the news and wants me to have one.

15. Lucky you! Your mom's so supportive!

11. Google pussy hats. Lots of options.

[lunatica]

23. Can you tell me where I can find a photo of the eagle with the pink cap?

I've been looking for it high and low and all I get are hundreds of photos of eagles. No caps.

[Fla Dem]

25. Someone posted it here in DU. I saved it to my computer.

Then I uploaded it to photobucket so I could use it in my sig line.

Found the original post!

12. Someone gave me one at our local march and I am so proud to have it!

[UTUSN]

14. Here you go (a link), but why this matters to me:

http://www.joann.com/classes/knitting-classes/

But use this link wisely.

Two of my beloved family have taken it upon themselves to knit something for me, my Mother and a cousin. Both products obviously took much time and effort and *love* but really, people, they were UGLY.

Yes, I know I am branding myself as a total barbarian and a-hole.

[lunatica]

24. You are no such thing!

[UTUSN]

26. Wow, I'm overwhelmed!

[blogslut]

16. Do you sew?

One can be made from fleece. Here's a crazy-easy pattern that could even be hand-sewed:

17. "Pussy hat" reminds me of Army "garrison hat"

It's close to one of the unofficial synonyms

[Tanuki]

27. Pussy hats remind of the red liberty caps of the French Revolution,

some of which were knitted by the tricoteuses (immortalized in the person of Madame Lafarge in "A Tale of Two Cities&quot .

19. I have three extra that I made

You are welcome to one, just pm me an address and I'll stick it in an envelope.

[CTyankee]

21. You are very sweet! I'll give one to my daughter in law...

[haele]

22. Can't knit, so I corchet'd one.

Nice rose color to go with a couple knit scarves I have, so I can wear it to work as an ensemble without comment. Not quite the "rectangle" look - more like a stocking cap - but I think the pussy ears came out better than the garrison cap look that the original pattern leaves one with.

28. Instructions from Juanita Jean's page

http://juanitajean.com/january-21st/

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

29. The thing is, you have to know what those instructions mean.

They are in some kind of code that would be understood only by people who already know how to knit. I could learn how to knit from the Internet but I still couldn't follow those instructions.

[Gothmog]

30. My youngest can knit and will be making some hats for future events
