Holier Hats! 2006

Posted on 12 June 2007 by Carrie Cahill Mulligan

A photo collage showing Carrie Cahill Mulligan's Heirloom Handknit Felt Hats sold in 2006. In 2006, I had my busiest, most successful year with Heirloom Handknit Hats… almost 200 hats sold! (Only 187 are pictured here… I didn’t get photos of all of them… alas!) I love knowing that all these hats are out there in the world, keeping someone warm and stylish, and adding a bit of cheer to a dreary winter day.Since the collage photos are so tiny, you can peruse this photo album to get a better look…

LibraryThing… a place for bookworms

Imagine a website where you can catalogue all the books you've ever read... then compare libraries with other folks... This is LibraryThing! I have a new day-job at the Dartmouth Alumni Gym front desk, and so have lots of time for knitting, reading, and adding books to my own virtual library...Curious about what I've read? Just visit my LibraryThing and have a peek for yourself.What have you been reading, lately?

Hats off to Uncle Earl’s “Waterloo, Tennessee” tour!

Posted on 6 April 2007 by Carrie Cahill Mulligan

Make that “Hats on!”

I was lucky enough to catch the band during their spring tour in support of their new album,”Waterloo, Tennessee,” released on Rounder Records last month.

Produced by John Paul Jones (of Led Zeppelin fame), this second album does a great job capturing the exuberance and energy that characterize the g’Earls’ live performances.

I love handmade things: hats, pies, furniture and especially stringband music. If you have the chance to catch Uncle Earl live at a festival this summer, do it!

Until then, check out “Waterloo, Tennessee”. You’ll be happy you did.
