Keep It Under Your Hats

Posted by Knottylady Designs Showstoppers on 1/4/2008

Fun hats knitted with lovely, soft yarns. The patterns are fun and with different yarns they take on a life of their own with added funky fun yarns & cords. I began with a rolled brim, added 6-8 rows of ribbing & finished off in the round with stockinette stitch. Topped one off with ICORDS in complimenting colors & topped off the other with a pom pom in both colors & an added ruffle for warmth around the face. The Summer Breeze is mostly cotton yarn with a little bit of nylon and fun novelty yarn. Enjoy my hats! Fun to design and to wear!

Trendy or traditional ; pretty and petite are perfect adjectives for these gorgeous knitted , felted & needle felted bags. Until I have a bag in the works and complete it; I have never "FELT" this kind of passion for an art form which is not unique to this era but has been handed down though generations and has become more popular for bags, slippers,mittens, scarves and anything that can be knitted with the gorgeous wools on the market along with so many beautiful novelty yarns. I hope that you enjoy looking at my felted pieces as much as I enjoy the whole process from hand spun yarn to kettle dyeing to the final felting process it is a challenging and fulfilling artform. The process of needle felting adds decorative wool 'pictures' to my finished felted pieces & at times gives the piece a three dimentional look. It is a very rewarding process. I have used many mediums and this is one of my favorites because it is like 'PAINTING WITH YARN". My theme bags/totes are exciting to create but I have other artistic creations that I will enjoy sharing with you. Thank You for stopping by. Patricia Maxwell
