I’ve had a hard time of it since my Mom died in August.
It’s been hard to continue making hats, which was terrible timing, since autumn and the holidays are my busiest hat season.
Honestly, for a while there, it was hard just to get up and face the day.
Thank goodness for hockey!
Not only does it provide fantastic exercise, and much needed endorphins, but the singular focus of chasing that little black puck around and hitting it with a stick was pure bliss.
Nothing in my head for a whole hour but hockey! No room for grief. No room to feel sorry for myself. Just hockey.
For my money, it’s the best grief therapy around. I highly recommend it!
(That’s me in the yellow helmet, by the way…)

My Mission
I create highly functional, exquisitely handcrafted art-to-wear Heirloom Handknit Hats.
Winter is wonderful... but not if you're 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 the world a little warmer and brighter.
Your head is sacred. It's my mission to create original art-to-wear hats that are worthy of your head.
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.
