Madly Embroidering Felt Hats

Detail of freehand embroidery on one of Carrie Cahill Mulligan's Heirloom Handknit felt Hats, with hand-dyed ribbon yarn and french knots.  ‘Tis the season… Holidays mean hat weather in my book, and many of you agree!

In the past 3 weeks, I have sold over 65 hats, many not yet even finished… So here I sit… madly stitching hats, fast as my fingers will allow.

If you see me looking sleepy, don’t pity me…

I’m doing what I love most!
