The hat, it is done! This is the coziest hat I’ve ever made. Also, the sweetest. That mohair halo! That pom!! It was truly a pleasure knitting every stitch of this project. Holding the hand dyed merino from Hedgehog Fibres together with the fluffiest Rowan Kidsilk Haze produces a fabric that is so dreamy. I would love to wear a sweater knit with this stuff! My daughter wanted it extra slouchy and she is super thrilled with how it turned… Read more »

Although, she’s lived in Canada most of her adult life, she is still very British. That accent… love it!!! Her sense of humor is charmingly tongue-in-cheek too. An exceptional woman! Jane is a knitter. I found this out when she saw my son’s modified Rikke hat that I knit him a while ago and she could just “read… Read more »
