 Back when I lived in New England and knitted sweaters, this was a yarn I wanted to buy: Purple wool tweed with colorful flecks. At the time, it seemed too expensive for a whole sweater. But recently in a thrift store, I found a sweater to take home, unravel into skeins, and give a hot bath. The sweater was made in Ireland of Irish yarn: my purple tweed. It was just as gorgeous as I remembered.

 One of my favorite hat commissions was a "hair hat."
The customer shaved his head and he wanted a hat that would look like hair from a distance, but when you got up close, you could see that it was a hat. The base of the hat is crocheted in cotton yarn, and then a flap in fake fur yarn buttons to the top. The customer provided precise measurements for the sideburns and the nape "hair," as well as the usual head circumference and hat depth. I wish I'd taken a photo of the finished hat. All I have is this one with yarn ends hanging down. I wonder if this style is the opposite of "Hat Hair." . . . |
