May: the month of socks and scarves and revolutionary puppets

Happy May Day all!

In Minneapolis, they do this holiday up right, with thousands and thousands of people gathering for the annual May Day parade. In the Heart of the Beast Puppet Theater has been sponsoring the parade for more than 30 years now. It a pretty amazing space, with all the diverse lefties in this town working and playing together. (And because I’m a Flickr Freak these days, click image for details.)

If you’re in the Twin Cities, the parade is this Sunday, from 1pm to dusk at Powderhorn Park.

Knitting-wise, it looks like my May will be pretty wooly and wintery. I’ve finally caught that brutal sock bug that I’ve been hearing about for years, and I’ve also just ordered two custom skeins from Adam to make a chevron scarf. There’s lace to knit as well, but it just isn’t calling to me in the same way. Nope, for now it’s socks socks socks. And scarf.
