Happy Hands!!

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!!

 I am joining Ginny at Small Things 
for
Yarn Along

Sharing also with 
stop by and join in the fun.

    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!

    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!
