I felt compelled to start making hats again on one of the hottest 95 degree summer days in Portland. Intuition doesn't always seem to follow logic....and by the time cooler fall like days started, I had a small pile of them. It was then that I got my first hat order for the new season. A gray and black hat for Tammy's son Dan who is moving to Chicago. There's something special about making a hat for someone in particular. I don't know Dan, but I had a clear sense of how the hat should look as I was making it. I've already started putting colors together for Tammy's hat and we might see her on another blog post.
