carnival ride
October 26, 2007i sold the size medium train tam at the last craft fair, so i thought i’d replace it with another for handmade arcade.
minty swirl train tam (free pattern)
ingredients:
my hand dyed recycled sweater wool (greener than it appears)
j crew recycled sweater wool
adult medium
i’m amused that this one is a bit too wild for me, cause you know, pale green/grey and brown. whoohee! seriously though, this hat makes me think of a carnival ride. maybe because it’s swirling (embroidery) and twirling (button) all at the same time?
so. tomorrow a bunch of people are coming over to my house to eat and knit. my first hostessing event since the move. yay! i’ll take pics.
The little swirls on the hat make me think of a flapper and the feather on her cap. Especially on you with your short hair! I like it. :D
I love this hat! It makes me think about hot chocolate on a cold day. Perhaps it’s also because it’s green and brown…I can never resist those colors!
i love this pattern, will the hat pattern that you had on your blog yesterday be in your book? i really loved that and would like to make one myself. have fun tomorrow!
I had the exact same thought as Gwen Erin! Maybe you should rename this one “funky flapper,” Cosy! :D
Very cute and thanks for the pattern. It reminds me an Andes Mint. I love chocolate and mint green together. Great combination.
