A Hat is a Hat is a Hat ...

Or is it?

Well maybe it isn't a Hat until it's been given a hot bath and fulled.
And then it's ready for some felting. Needle felting that is. Ready to be capitalized and become a real Hat ... a fancy hat!

Just throw it in the washing machine along with a few pieces of my Mystery Knit. (see past posts about that and give me your guess if you haven't already.)

This is MAXINE by Lisa Cruse from Ambrosia Cottage. She still needs some drying time and a shave to cut back on the fuzzies. Then I'll be decorating her to give her even more style and personality.

Can't you just see a beautiful bunch of flowers over the lower brim & up the side of this Hat?
Stay tuned. There's more to come.

There's a garden of possibilities here!
