Inca Stories "Sun Basket"

The Pine needle basket weaving of Grizzly Mountain Arts were the jumping off points for the last couple of Inca hats. I am so thoroughly enjoying them that I created another (the one below sold the next day :) ) and have already started a third.

Inca "Basket Weave"

Inca "Basket Weave"

About the hat:

A hat reminiscent of traditional basket weaving, this beauty has browns, creams, greys and black...and is full of details. Ridges and lacework run around the back perimeter and it is embellished with three tassels.

This is a beautiful combination of hand dyed wool, camel and some silk that creates a lightweight yet warm hat. It is one of the few hats that I make that is totally crochet.

Inca Stories - "Fields 2"

About the hat:

A new field, furrowed, planted and now coming to fruition... these are the colours therein.... browns, russets, spring greens, coppers... this hat is full of details. Ridges and lacework run around the back perimeter and it is embellished with three tassels.

This is a beautiful combination of hand dyed Silk/Viscose blend, a lovely green Linen and a coppery Rayon. It is lightweight and warm. It is one of the few hats that I make that is totally crochet and this particular hat can be worn by those that can not tolerate wool.

Inca "Winter" - for 2009!

Inca "Winter"

About the hat:

A simple beauty, but exquisitely full of details. Ridges and lacework run around the back perimeter and it is embellished with two tassels.

This is a beautiful, soft and luscious combination of the finest Alpaca, Silk and Merino in a lovely Cream color. Warm yet delicately light. It is one of the few hats that I make that is totally crochet and one of the few designs I will do in a solid colour.

The hat measures approx. 11" (27.9 cm) when laid flat (at the widest point and approx. 8" (20.3 cm) from top to the point right above the ridges. For reference, the mannequin head is 21" (53.3 cm). There is stretch due to its construction and it can fit a variety of sizes. My head measures approx. 24" with all of my hair and it fits wonderfully. Please measure your head and send me your measurements if you have a question about whether this hat will fit you.

It is a stunning statement, but remember....it can cause "Specialness" and you will always have to be ready for that!

Inca "Winter" is available through 1000Markets or my website.

The Best Advertising.....

I have got to say that some of the best advertising is seeing someone wearing one of your creations... at least for me. I started to put together a collection of "Wearers of my Hats & Things" and will hopefully get it done soon... but here are several pics (the two on top were sent to me the other day and I am so happy to have them!). The two bottom pics are two of my favorites from a young woman, who not only has excellent taste in hats, but also happens to be a photographer.

2008 was Busy....

2008 was busy... but not as busy as last year. Thought I'd post the "Last Year" pic. These pieces were made in 2008 and it is not all of them (there were doubles and triples and quads made of some of the Attitude Hats) and it doesnt include any 'personal' knitting for myself or family. Hope you all have a peaceful, lucrative and healthy new year!
