I started this blog while living in Portland, Oregon. I had learned how to crochet hats and found the process creative and meditative. One sunny afternoon while crocheting in a park downtown, a kid on a skateboard asked me, “Is that one of your passions?” His comment made me realize that I wanted promote that idea. I decided to start this blog to explore creative passions. For me, its all about color, shape and texture.

Ushanka (Ear Hat)
For this hat I added a soft fuzzy yarn which created a sea anemone-like feeling inside and a Russian Ushanka on the outside. An ushanka (Literally "ear hat") (Russian: уша́нка; pronounced [uˈʃankə])

Jessica
Jessica requested a hat design where "Tim Burton meets Dr. Seuss". I originally wanted to use purple and lime green, but it just didn't work when i put those colors together. The hat's personality guided me as it emerged. The other thing for this hat was it had to be big enough for dreads. A purple dread crown! Jessica practices Community Acupuncture in Frederick, Maryland. To find her or a Community Acupuncture Clinic near you, please visit:

Gabe looking fabulous while striking a pose with her colors of the ocean inspired hat. I crocheted a band as an extra layer inside the hat to keep those ears warm.
