More hats!

Here's the second hat I made for T. I finished it by adding a cream colored satin ribbon through the edging. It turned out quite nice. Of course, T's little girl, Clara, loved it!! She just loves hats!! I will post a picture of T wearing it sometime soon. It actually fit. Funny what a little measuring and a gauge swatch will do. I can't figure out how to rotate this picture correctly! T, help!!

HATS AND HATS

Although T doesn't think she looks good in hats, she does. I've now made two hats for her. Lesson learned. Measure the recipients head BEFORE you finish the project! The first one was a tad too small, as you can see. It really wasn't supposed to be a stocking cap. It's a tam! And my first try at fair isle. So, I just had to take the hat back and wear it myself!

All laced up!

I started on the project shown here in approximately June 2007, hoping to finish it for a Christmas present 2007. Instead, it became a Christmas present for 2008! Lace is a lot of fun, but time consuming!!!!! This was a gift for my assistant, who as you can see, loved it!!!!
