Each spring for the past couple of years, I have joined the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen participating in the Spring Auction for NH Public Television.
Along with other League artisans, I have donated my work for auction, and on Gallery Night, I have joined with Sunapee Fair Director, Terri Wiltse, and Marketing Director, Pam Sullivan, to help answer phones and take auction bids.
This year, I am tickled that my donated felt hat has been chosen to be part of the Virtual Gallery, starting today!
You can now bid on my Spring Snowflake Hat during the early online auction, from Tuesday, April 15th until noon on Tuesday, May 6th. The highest online bid will be posted as the hat is auctioned live on the air on Gallery Night, Wednesday, May 6th, from 6:00 p.m. – midnight.
This is a great chance to get yourself a one-of-a-kind, art-to-wear felt hat, and support Public Television at the same time, so visit the Virtual Gallery and place your bid today!
**2009 Update: This year, I’ve donated my Spring Blossoms felt hat to the Virtual Auction.

Art-to-Wear for Every Head
Each of my Heirloom Handknit Hats begins as a giant, over-sized stocking cap, knit by hand of llama and wool.
Next, it is shrunk into a thick, durable felt in the washing machine, which is then shaped by hand and air-dried.
Finally, each hat is lined with a silky ribbon to keep it's shape and provide lasting comfort. Many are finished with freehand embroidery, as unique as the wearer.
All are signed, dated and numbered by hand.
With less than 200 made each year, these hats are truly limited-editon, art-to-wear pieces that will provide years of warmth and comfort for the lucky owner.

My Goal
I strive to create highly functional, exquisitely handcrafted art-to-wear Heirloom Handknit Hats.
Winter is wonderful... but not if you are cold. That's where a lovely, warm hat fits in!
If wearing one of my hats helps you get outside and enjoy yourself, then I will have played my small part in making your world a little warmer and brighter.
Your head is sacred. I aim to create original art-to-wear hats that are worthy of your head. -
