Bartholomew Cubbins



Do you remember him? The Dr. Seuss character with a hat problem? Yipes! I can't seem to stop making hats. I have a reason for each one, such as a knitting technique I want to learn, or colors I want to use. Here are a few more.

The tam is one I made last year.

The blue one uses an interesting pattern called "entrelac".


The headband is double-knitted. What's that you say? It looks reversible? So observant! It's a technique I just learned that makes the reverse pattern on the opposite side. And I can wear it with a ponytail.


Then there's the Dr. Seuss-ish hat I just finished last night. I don't know. I just wanted to play with the colors. I think it might look cute schussing down the slopes!
I'm waiting for some yarn to come in the mail so I can finish my sweater, and perhaps that will break the spell. We'll see. Or I'll have to put more hat racks up on the wall.

I hope we have a nice, cold February.
