Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards is not about to be left out of all the“Pussy Hat” knittingfun.

In an Instagram post on Saturday, Richards took a photo of her hot pink ball of yarn in front of an instructional YouTube video to show her support for the hats ― and her attempt at making her own.

“On my way to the immigration march in Washington this morning,” she wrote in the caption, “and using the train ride to learn how to knit my own pink hat for the Women’s March next Saturday!”

On my way to the immigration march in Washington this morning, and using the train ride to learn how to knit my own pink hat for the Women's March next Saturday! I was so inspired by the women producers @thedailyshow who were knitting theirs the other night I figured why not try myself! If you want to yourself go to @p_ssyhatproject - easy instructions and you can calm yourself for the week through meditative knitting! @womensmarch @ppact 💝
