It was so hot in the village on Saturday, that the hotel was a welcome destination. No canoing, no long hikes, just me and the knitting…John was at the pool and foraging for dinner.
The knitting continued at the market on Sunday, but without the breeze of the forest and the fan in the room. Julie had her last lesson. Boo for me. She has been such a good student. You’ll see more of her finished pieces in later blog posts. Customers (regulars and newbies) were in the booth in a steady stream. Texans in for their annual convention.
On a sad note, Bob from Thelma’s Goodies passed away on Friday after a long struggle with cancer. He was a fixture in the market, funny, gracious, a great booth neighbour and I will really miss him. Thanksgiving at the market will not be the same without him to finish my pumpkin pie.
Thanks. I wanted the border to have a bit more volume and you can only knit so many rolled brim hats. The super chunky merino is a great yarn for this type of stitch as well.
Love the addition of seed stitch to the hat edges. Nice touch. K
