A note on sizing:  While each of my Heirloom Handknit Hats is one of a kind, it’s possible to estimate what size might fit you best.

First, use a tape measure to get your head circumference, being careful to go over both ears, across the forehead and down over the knobby part at the back of your head.

Now add for ease:  1/2 inch if you want it to fit snugly (for active use), an inch for average fit, or 1 1/2 inches if you prefer a rather loose fit.

This should give you a good starting number if you want to contact me about your next hat.

You’re Invited to America’s Oldest Crafts Fair!

Situated on the scenic slopes of Mount Sunapee Resort, America’s oldest crafts organization, the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen, will host its 85th Annual Craftsmen’s Fair on August 4-12, 2018.

Featuring the work of over 150 juried craftsmen, fairgoers can meet the makers themselves and learn how American fine craft is handmade locally right here in northern New England:

This year, I’m returning with ~150 of my latest one-of-a-kind handknit embroidered felt hats to the lower end of the fairgrounds in Tent 8, Booth 804, directly next to one of my very favorite jewelers, Anne Behrsing (oooh, how I love her work!):

Last month, I mailed out roughly 1000 fair invitations, which (besides being colorful save-the-date reminders) also serve as $2-off coupons for fair entry:

If you didn’t receive one, but would like a snail mail invite/coupon of your very own, there’s still time, just leave a note in the comments below… But don’t delay–opening day of this nationally renowned 9-day fine craft event is next Saturday, just a week away!

Come treat yourself to the finest that New Hampshire has to offer at the 85th Annual League of New Hampshire Craftsmen’s Fair, August 4-12, 2018 in Newbury, NH… Hope to see you there!

With the depths of winter upon us here in New Hampshire, I’ve kept myself busy (playing hockey and) stitching up a storm:

French Knot Mandala
Single Snowflake
Mini Flower
3-Flower-Vine
Single Snowflake
Button Flower

Snowflake, flower or mandala, each design is worked one freehand stitch at a time…

With no two designs ever coming out exactly the same way twice, each of my heirloom handknit hats is guaranteed to be as unique as you. And no hat will keep you as warm in the sleet and snow, I promise!

Come and check them out for yourself from 9am – 2pm this Saturday at the Wentworth Greenhouses in Rollinsford, New Hampshire.

Hope to see you there!
