I love a fair isle hat and Alison Rendall does not disappoint. She is responsible for the wildly popular Buggiflooer Beanie from a couple of years ago. I absolutely loved her hat design called Yoxie. The dramatic colors really called my name. I was unsure about the pale blue and cream colored sections, but decided to trust her for the most part. The blue and cream add a lot!! I did a lot of adjusting to correct the jog, which you can see in this photo:
I changed the crown coloration quite a bit. I added more blue to make it look more like that section of the body. I love the final look of it but apparently the state fair judges were less impressed! It got 4th place.
I am sorry we have not been posting much lately. Call it the fall doldrums and political fatigue! I’ll try to do better!
