Hat maker?


As I was finishing the hat I was musing on being a hat maker. As row upon row of the cording was attached stitch by stitch with a sc of cashmere I thought about my great great aunt who was one, my grand father who was one and my grand mother who desperately wanted to be one but was not allowed...She had to run her parents business. Is it in the genes? I enjoyed the process very much and am pleased with the results.



And of course my new toy is in full swing, cant resist a new technique. Made some beaded ropes...
and a few more pearl necklaces. Looks easy because of the machine, nut in fact is quite time consuming as must pay very close attention. Am pleased with the results though.
