Thanks, Vanessa! I work at School Products in NYC part-time. It's a great place, very unusual. We sell a lot of mill ends on cones in addition to regular commercial yarns, and the family that owns the store also owns Karabella. So it's a great place for me to learn about the industry and designing!

I really like the hats. What technique did you use to get the braid effect on that first one? Love Hank!

The braid is a technique I've seen in a few places, which I first learned from Anna Zilbourg's book 45 Fine & Fanciful Hats to Knit. She explains it very well - the basic idea is that you're working on the wrong side, knitting with alternating colors, and twisting the 2 colors around eachother with each stitch. It's easy to do, but difficult to explain! Glad you like the hats :-)

I especially like the top hat and how the "braid" looks with the two colors.
