About this Site
Having lived in a tiny cabin in the Alaskan woods for 10 years, I really wanted to call this site, “My Dial-up Life with Hats.”
Now that we live in New Hampshire, I’m still in an area without high-speed internet (yes, it really is like the Dark Ages!), although wireless can be found…
As it is, I hope that these pages will answer all your questions about my hand-crafted, art-to-wear, knitted felt hats. Additionally, I hope you get a sense of the maker behind the felt, as well as what inspires me to create functional art-to-wear.
This site is designed to be interactive. That is, you may freely post comments, just by clicking on the tiny blue “comments” at the top of each entry, or at the bottom of some pages.
Let me know what you think, and tell me how I might improve the site. I’m always hoping to evolve and your input is invaluable to me!

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. -
