I am a designer

Just look at my beautiful hat!  I love everything about it; probably because I made every decision even down to the little curve underneath the button.  This hat class was one of the best classes I have ever taken.  I can't begin to give it the justice it deserves or recommend it enough.  Being able to design and bring to fruition my own hat was incredible.  My friend designed a completely different hat and her hat is super cool!  I learned lots of new things in the class from cabling to knitting in the round to sewing two knit pieces together.  The crazy thing is I think I could knit a whole new hat outside of class with the skills I learned.

This is a side view of the hat.  I love my one cable that runs perfectly up the side.  I knitted the brim separately and then sewed it to the body of the hat. 

Double pointed needles were not that hard.  It felt a bit awkward having so many needles, but it wasn't tricky to knit with them. 

I've already started dreaming up my next hat.  This class was an inspiration and just the kick I needed.  Knitting has never been this much fun!

YAY! Your hat came out super cute! This class was one of the best presents I've ever gotten. I promise to post shots of my hat when it's done ... love your photos, too. You're an artist, a designer, and a model, too!

Wow! I love these pictures with just the eyes and showcasing the hat. The colour is perfect! Buttons- love them! Love the flapperish quality to the hat. Unfortunately, knowing nothing about knitting, I can't properly appreciate this work of art but suffice to say, I think you'll get a lot of postive affirmations as you model this about town!
