Inca Stories "Woods Basket Weave"

Inca Stories "Woods Basket Weave"

Deep in the woods colour. Ridges and lacework run around the back perimeter and it is embellished with three tassels. The two side tassels are topped with a vintage button from my personal collection and a silver metal hand cut tube bead.

This is a beautiful combination of hand dyed wool, wool/hemp and a touch of cotton. This combination creates a lightweight yet warm hat. It is one of the few hats that I make that is totally crochet. She can be found at my 1000Markets shop. Http://DreamWoven.1000Markets.com

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.

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!
See you all at 1000Markets.com

Attitude Hat - New Colourway!

The Hat with Attitude.

Great for those with dreads, as well as those without, perfect for a bad-hair day. Have fun - that's what it's all about..... Don't try to hide though, because with this hat you will be found!

This Attitude Hat is full of vibrant rich colors.. greens, violets, raspberry and russet brown.. a turbulent mix! This is insanely beautiful stuff, exquisitely hand dyed. It is handknit by me and is hand dyed wool. The hat can be worn any way you want... any colour showing up front, piled up on your head, dragged to the side or with all your hair tucked up inside. It's up to you!

It's your Attitude to fit your mood! Also.. .there is a lot of room for you to squoosh those dreads, or extra long hair, up into the hat, if you want to :)

It measures approx. 10.5" (26.7 cm) when laid flat and approx. 13" (33 cm) when stretched out. Because of its construction, it can be worn by a variety of head sizes. But please, measure your head by using a measuring tape around your crown, going around the largest part of your head. For reference only, the mannequin head circumference is 21" (53.3 cm). All hats made from this colourway will have the exact same colours, but placement will vary.

This is a one of a kind... you wont see anyone else walking around with this on... The only pre-requisite to wearing this hat is that you do it with ATTITUDE!

Sometimes you just got to get the YA YA's out...

This is a frantic time of year for me. That being said, it is also the time of year that I crave making my more Wearable Art pieces. Of course this urge occurs between the frantic-ness of the season, the craziness of everything else going on. Go figure..... There comes a space... it happens when I have done all I can with existing things, procrastinated enough (cleaned off my work table, done the dishes and ambled around complaining about not having enough coffee).... then comes the 'breather space'. It all gels. It all comes together. My fingers do what they are told, my juices are flowing, nothing intrudes, the music sounds good, the colors reflect correctly, there is some peace in my mind (the gremlins have quieted down a bit) and voila'... a creation takes shape, calls to me, comes to fruition.
