Annie Modessitt is preparing a book called 1000 hats for which she’s collecting pictures of hats. The deadline was July 1st and it was a good motivation to finally take pictures of hats I made ages ago, or just better pics of hats made last winter…
Those Disco berets really needed better pics, I think it finally shows better how pretty they are. Besides is a Altay hat I made last winter too, this one with Malabrigo. Oh, and yes I painted that head with acrylic paint. I had plans to embelish it with beads too, but that hasn’t happened yet.. 😉
Those hats were all made about 15/17 years ago, during my Uni years. I knit tons of hats then, making them for my friends, family, and friends of friends… I’m glad I still have some. 🙂 (there’s more on Raverly, scroll down to bottom of page)
Actually I like some of them so much I may publish the patterns… as soon as I get the reply about the book (some hats will be selected to include the pattern in the book).
And speaking of which. Annie Modesitt just announced that she’s extending the deadline for her book. Please go ahead and submit some of your hat photos (all the info is here), … especially the ones made with ChezPlum patterns ! 😉 😀
