See my hat

Thanks to That Jolie Girl, I just took a fabulous hat design class from the talented and lovely Laura Irwin. Laura is a great teacher and really fun to hang with — we felt lucky to have her all to ourselves!



Here's a shot of my recently finished hat. As is my wont, I chose the main yarn first, for its texture and color, then we figured out together what shape to go for (the technical term is "floppy"). The trim was knit up and added last — another single skein from my little stash.

This was a great experience. I feel more confident in my ability to design/make stuff up, and I've already started my next hat!
