VERY GREEN



Wow!  This hat is warm and it should offer some great protection from the cold, especially for the ears.  It is double knit with four layers of yarn covering the ears.  That should keep the cold wind at bay.  And, the color is simply and delightfully green.

TIMELESS


...or maybe more like time stood still (for a brief moment).  I like the wood frame of this clock and I think it looks really good next to this hat.  This hat is knit from brown fleck yarn mixed with a golden colored yarn.  It has a very warm look and feel and is a nice medium weight hat.  tick-tock

RUPERT



I am naming this hat after a movie about a squirrel named Rupert.  The movie was filmed in 1951 and was a black and white film.  It was a very funny comedy about how a dancing squirrel came to be in a position to make people rich by accidentally giving them money.  This hat, posed next to the squirrel garden statuary, just needs to be named Rupert.  And, that's about it.

LAMMIE



Oh, how cute is this!!  I just combined some light pink yarn with two different (yes, there's two) medium blue yarns and I came up with a very sweet little hat for a young girl.  The yarns are as soft as the lamb's wool.  Quite a pair, don't you think?

PATCHWORK


When I started making this hat I wasn't sure if I would have enough yarn to finish the project as I originally envisioned.....and I didn't.  But I like the finished hat just the way it is.  It's kind of patchwork-y.  The bottom tweedy section is made by knitting four thinner yarns together to make one thicker yarn.  The colors are off white, light grey, medium grey and a muted aqua.  I really like this combination of colors.  Then I ran out of yarn.  I did have a brighter turquoise colored yarn that I decided to use and I came up with a two tone hat that I think looks quite nice.  It is a very warm hat made with several layers of yarn and it feels soft to the touch.  Good going!!

AUTUMN FESTIVAL



Wow, as I look at this picture I can see how the earthy Fall colors are highlighted.  Very warm tones and the background pillow almost looks like a pile of leaves.  This hat is double knit and very warm.  This hat should keep any head warm in the chilly Autumn weather and on into the winter, as well.

CRANBERRY RELISH



The dark red yarn used in the making of this hat is one of my favorites.  All the yarns are soft to the touch and combine to make a nice warm hat.  But, the dark red color is my favorite.   (And, cranberry relish is a favorite of mine, too.)
