pile of hats

My family met at my sister Jane’s for the August long weekend.  Another sister, Penny, told me to bring my accumulated hats for a photo shoot, so I could start this blog.  We also co-opted my brother in law, Will, who has a nice camera with a portrait lens.  We threw all the hats down together and ended up with a big pile of hats to deal with, so things got busy.

Watchcaps with three ply handspun combined with plain commercial yarn

We actually had a lot of fun.  Here is my son Jacob (centre top) sharing a laugh with (clockwise) his cousins, Jeremy and Jay and his uncles Will and Surya.  They are wearing a set of watch caps I did featuring handspun (the 3-ply blue/turquoise/black) and King Cole Antitickle DK.  I made these when I was flirting with the idea of selling this kind of hat.  The relationship floundered.
