So moving along nicely in the hat series, I got inspired by the sea. Last summer I knitted actual seaweed and with the garden becoming overwhelming visually, I decided to knit a new hat with kelp...
Lovely baby kelp made of angora, the color was what inspired me, dangling gently from the top and swinging in the breeze.
View from the top
Same base hat, I-cord finished with a bulb, stuffed with wool and embellished with three "ribbons". Turned out just as I visualized it, random lengh of seaweed cascading like a ponytail. Now what.....
Thank you very much. I am in the very long process of creating and writing patterns for sale. I will let everybody know when I am ready. Meanwhile I am just posting the pictures.
"When you wake up in the morning, Pooh," said Piglet at last, "what's the first thing you say to yourself?" "What's for breakfast?" said Pooh. "What do you say, Piglet?" "I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?" said Piglet. Pooh nodded thoughtfully. "It's the same thing," he said.
I am French, I knit, I live on a small island in BC Canada, 1 husband, 2 kids, various pets, love cooking. I have been using my hands ever since I can remember and always go back to knitting. Some people have to touch earth to feel centered I have to “make”. I knit, I spin, I dye, I bead, I experiment all the time, basically my most used phrase is;”I want to make that” but I still have not blown glass…soon….The Knitting is my most constent work, relaxation, obcession, maybe a living someday. I am a great researcher and always get inspired by the never ending onslaught of books, magazines, net and friends.
