From this not quite finished felted red hat

To this finished felted red hat

Yarn: Lamb’s Pride Bulky – color#M80 (Blue Blood Red)
Needles: US 11
Pattern: Fiber Trends Felt Hat with Brim Variations

Every time I felt something, I continue to be amazed at the process. Am I the only one who wonders why sheep do not get smaller every time it rains?

It is also incredibly hard to photograph yourself with your eyes covered.

ok, that comment is funny, but the hat is so atractive!

Cute! Great hat.
Eyes covered? LOL I have a hard enough time trying to photograph hand knits with my eyes wide open!

Love the hat, looks great on you! Well, now it does :)

I’m always amazed with how felting turns out so well.

It would have to be pretty hot rain, as felting is literally cooking the proteins of the wool, but I like the image. I do think their fleeces must get enormously heavy though when it rains.

Great hat! I love the Blue Blood Red color in Lamb’s Pride.

Why, hello there! It’s about time I saw a photo of my GYK ‘associate’. Pretty. Very pretty.

I was curious how you pulled off the no eyes camera taking trick so easily until I read to the end. hehe
