Today I crafted a soft black cashmere wrap hat.
I felted the black sweater in the washing machine last week.
The striped wool bow was a left over piece from my
bag and hat project.
The hat wraps around my head and earsI felted the black sweater in the washing machine last week.

and fastens in back with a large button I found in my
Grandmother's button tin.
I tried it around my neck and it looks cute as a neck warmer.
I am going walking.
My ears will be nice and warm.
While I sewed up my new hat I felted
a few more sweaters in the washing machine.
The wool and alpaca turned out very nice.
It is dense and will take a few hours to dry.
I will have to think about what I will craft next week
with this nice piece.

Warm neck and ears are a good thing especially when they are wrapped in pretty things.
Dear Lisa,
I really like the way the hat looks as a neck wrap too. It will be a way to take my hat off when I go shopping. Laying around my neck like a little collar will look cute!
I am thinking about making collars and scarves. The soft felted sweaters are quick to sew up too.
Little scraps from other projects make cute decorations too.
This up-cycling is so fun.

Your new hat is so pretty! It looks warm and cozy. You have a wonderful eye for putting things together.
Dear ICQB,
Thank you!
I have enjoyed wearing my new hat these past couple of days. It is very cold this morning, 16 degrees!
I have a massage this morning so when I bundle up my new cashmere hat goes with. It is warm and small enough to fit into my coat pocket. A very handy hat!

Gosh Sherry I have just been looking at all the posts that you have done.....I have been showing my mother in law....in her younger days she was a seamstress and made wonderful outfits. She thinks your work is wonderful, so do I.....you most certainly have a wonderful gift......
Dear Cheryl,
Thank you for sharing my work with your Mother-in-law. I do enjoy making things from the felted wools. My mother was also a seamstress. She could make anything! Although she did not make hats.
I am having lots of fun.
Thank you for sharing and encouraging me.
Sherry
