Most of the hats I make end up here in New England and the Northeast (although occasionally one finds a home in the Pacific Northwest or Alaska).
Last week, I shipped off my first hat ever to Newfoundland:
Embroidered felt hat #82 of 2012.
Detail of freehand wool embroidery on felt.
French knots and split stitch make up the embroidered mandala design.
I’m delighted to have my work tested in the raw, wet winters of Newfoundland, and I love that the colors of this particular hat echo those of icebergs born of the North Atlantic. Seems particularly fitting!

What a beauty! If I had enough money, I’d have one of your hats in every color scheme and design imaginable.

Aw, thank you, Gayle! It’s the same for me when I make them. With each one, I always feel like its my favorite. Then I make a new one, and feel the same all over again!
