Another participant in the 17 Days of Green recently noted:

“One of the great things about the color green is that it has such a range and depth. It can be cool and bright, fresh and happy, or earthy and mossy. I usually tend to gravitate towards the mossy…”

—The Merry Wife of Canon

A woman after my own heart!

My moss-green embroidered felt hat keeps me toasty in any weather.

A hat that goes from garden to gala with ease.

Seeing this photo of me & my Mom, I can’t help but notice her eyes are the exact same shade as my hat.

Hmmm… Maybe that’s why I love moss green.

After several requests, I’m happy to introduce:

Hanover High School Boy's Hockey Coach, Dick Dodds and the first-ever CCM felt toque.

My 1st-ever felted beanie-type hat, designed with your Favorite Guy in mind!

Hockey demands warmth, comfort and style for all it's gear, especially hats.

Upon seeing this felt hat for men, my own Sweet Man assured me I’d hit a homerun with the new design. He immediately requested his own, in brown.

Andy needed his own felt hat, in earth-tones.

Happiness is a comfy, warm felt hat in the middle of winter.

I’m planning on knitting up a dozen-ish of these new men’s felt hats for the 2012 Sunapee Fair. Let me know if your Favorite Guy has favorite colors…

Happy Holidays, One and All

I love the rituals of the winter holidays. Especially decorating the tree.

Hand-knit stocking ornament, circa 1999.

I love having a bit of the outdoors inside.

Hockey player keychain, plus handmade sequin & seed bead ornament, circa 2008.

An evergreen tree trimmed in bright colors, set with little white lights… so cheerful!

A classic glass bell ornament and a handwoven grass star ornament from Labrador.

And I love how the tree is the gathering place of gifts, a symbol of abundance and joy.

In the spirit of the season, I present you one of my favorite holiday songs… enjoy!

Happy, happy holidays, one and all!

So, what’s your favorite part of the holiday season?
