Hat of the Week: Last Hat of 2007 (#175)

Knitted felt hat #175 of 2007 by felt fiber artist, Carrie Cahill Mulligan of Canaan, New Hampshire.  Ribbon embroidery worked freehand.


(Drumroll, please…) Here it is! The final hat (#175) in my 2007 Collection.

Finished with custom, freehand embroidery last night, and sent in today’s mail, this pink-on-pink beauty is now heading to Christine S. of New York City.

I sure hope this warm felt hat gets to Chris in time for Valentine’s Day. We’ve had some cold, snowy weather here in the Northeast, lately…

About 2 years ago, I received my all-time favorite holiday greeting…

Susan Houlihan, owner of Alpenglow Skincare in Homer, Alaska, chose this wintery photo of her family, featuring one of my very earliest spiral embroideries.

What fun to see my handiwork gracing Susan’s smiling face as she wished Peace to all her friends and loved ones!

So, thank you Susan, for making my hat a part of your life… And welcome to the club!
