Who are you?

 I can't seem to find out the name of this shrub, but it's blooming quietly right now.

Peony

A few peonies are getting ready to pop open.

Theme day: Pink

This month's theme is "pink".

Pink can be a very subtle, 

Or slap-in-the-face brilliant

Knitting as a subversive activity...?

I marched in the Raleigh Women's March last Saturday and was amazed at all the "Pussyhats".  All hand knit all from a similar pattern.  I'm a knitter, how could I have missed this???!

I found the pattern on Ravelry (with thousands of projects dedicated to the march) and decided to make a few for future activities.   There was plenty of pink yarn here in Raleigh although I've read that it was sold out in many cities.  I also read that one knitting shop in Tennesee posted that knitters who were going to use the yarn for pussyhats were not welcome to buy from their shop....Who knew knitting could be subversive?
