My hands are happiest when they are moving.
Moving = knitting...click, click, click!!
I saw the hat on the cover of this book, and I fell in love...
"knits of a feather"
lot's of bird inspired designs!
I finished this hat a little while ago,
but I never finished the feather design on the outside of the hat!
I was determined to finish it this week and share it here,
and I am close...
very close...99.9 % done but I just didn't have the time to finish.
I don't want to rush it...
and I am starting to think it may look better without the feather work.
Opinions?? it could easily be removed!!
Then it needs to be washed and blocked,
the edge is really curling, I needed the sea glass to hold it down.
This is the first project I have ever started, on my own,
from a book, with a pattern, without any guidance at all...
I'm pretty stoked!!

Good morning, Debbie! I love the hats both with the feather work and without.. You are so good, lovely projects. Enjoy your day!
The feather work makes it look unique:)
I always love your knitting day. I love seeing what you have been doing. I like it how it is. I think it is really a nice hat.
I bet it looks nice on you.
You are styling in every way! Bravo.
I love seeing your kitting projects, my friend. It's been a joy to see how you have progressed and I must say this hat is simply lovely! Well done, Debbie.
Thanks for sharing with Roses of Inspiration. Enjoy your afternoon. Hugs!
Well, you are doing a beautiful job following a pattern and I love the feather because it is forest-y and I think it honors the designer. Not that I always honor the designer. LOL!
I like it a lot!
i think it is cute but i like it plain, too.
You seem to be doing very well. I like it both ways.
Personally, I like it without the feather - leaves more options to add a pin or some other embellishment. I'm sure it will be beautiful either way.
I love this hat and I also love the feather; it is adorable. You must model this one when it is completed. I am so proud that you did this on your own reading a pattern. I really have a hard time reading patterns when i crochet.
Loved this one and sending hugs your way!
I love the feather its your first piece you have made on your own so i would keep it. If no one wears it cause of the feather then send to me. Lol...
I wish I could do that!! I do like the feather!
I like it with the feather.
I just love that you have learned to knit...
I bet the hat will keep you feeling toasty.
Looking good to me, both ways work and it should keep you warm.
All the best Jan
