Has it really been since April 2005 that I posted last? So much has changed. Had a kid, got a masters (completed the program anyway) and designed a HAT (ok, not the first hat I have designed, but the nicest to date).

Based on the feather and fan lace pattern, this hat has 9 panels, was knitted in Debbie Bliss Cashmerino and is done in 5 colors so the stripes rotate between being a ridge and a valley (2 rows per color). This hat is very soft and comfy and not too warm but warm enough for San Jose in springtime. This version was knit from the top down. I am currently working on a similar hat from the bottom up. I love it, love it, love it!

More sooner, rather than later.
