| This is one of my favourites :) I love stripes, spirals and buttons |
 |
| I've done several berets.. I like this ones white silk on black/grey |
 |
| And you know I love Celtic Labyrinths! This has one on the crown.. you can't really see on the photo, but there's a handspun chunky (purple) yarn with metallic sparkles which runs between the green |
 |
| So I felted a big, bandy bowlerISH hat :) |
 |
| And a cloche too :) |
 |
| This hat was actually deeper than I wanted it to be.. so I cut it. Removed a section so it was the right size and stitched the crown back on. I added lines of simple embroidery and edged it with blanket stitch in some lovely wool/silk yarns from World of Wool. |
I felted mittens to go with a couple of the hats..
More hats (fun ones) next time :)

Oh, Deborah--These latest projects are 'slammin'!!
I absolutely LOVE the striped ones! What wonderful, soft colors! Fantastic!!!! XOXO
Love, love the spiral hat.x
Thanks you Heather :) and Jacqui (that one is my fave too :) xx
They are gorgeous! I must admit that I have a soft spot for a cloche-styled hat, so I'd have to pick that one as my favourite. I've never tried hat-making, I'd love to give it a go sometime. I'm not great on accurate measurements with felt-making, so I expect I'd finish up with a hat for a giant (or maybe a pixie!). Liz x
Go for it Liz! Give me a shout and I'll help you work out your measurements if you like :) Or I'll try and remember and do a post about it..
I ended up with a hat for a giant a few weeks ago! I got mixed up on a 3 layer hat and did the 2 layers going up/down instead of across like I'd allowed for on the resist.. so of course could NOT get the shrinkage. It was like a bucket :) Did I kick myself or what?!
