CCMHats Youngest Fan — Riley T. of Healy, Alaska:
In gratitude for encouraging me, I present the inaugural members of the new CCM Hats Fan Club, Lisha and Steve:
…whom I met at the 74th Annual League of New Hampshire Craftsmen’s Fair at Mt. Sunapee this August.
I was tickled to encounter such enthusiastic hat folks, especially in the heat of summer.
And while Lisha indeed looks fantastic in her beautiful, embroidered hat, I have to give a special thanks to Steve, for giving the hats a chance and finding one just right for him, too.
Thanks so much for loving and wearing my Heirloom Handknit Hats, Steve and Lisha!
Scrapbook
My hats have been featured in a number of great magazines in the past year, including this glowing feature by Susan Laughlin of New Hampshire Magazine:
Laura Whitcomb of Upper Valley Life Magazine also featured my hats in November 2006 with this great piece:

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.

I saw your hats last year at Sunapee, and knew that I must have one for myself. So I waited and saved and August came. Your booth was the first place I went, I had it all mapped out. I Love my new hat!! I wear it every chance I get, inside, and outside! I’d leave a picture but I can’t figure out how. Thanks again!

Thanks, Bonnie! You really made my day this year at Sunapee, bee-lining straight to my booth 5 minutes after the Fair started. I couldn’t be more honored, so thank you.
I am so glad you love and wear your hat… feel free to email me your photo, as I would LOVE to see you in it!
