If you didn’t get a chance to visit me at this year’s League of NH Craftsmen’s Fair, you missed seeing my latest design: Mandala of French Knots.

According to Wikipedia:

“Mandala [...] translates as ‘circle-circumference’ or ‘completion’ [...]
a concentric diagram having spiritual and ritual significance in both Buddhism and Hinduism.”

That makes sense to me. I’ve been thinking a lot about Mom. And the circle of one year of grieving was completing just as this design was born.

Cool tones on black was the first incarnation of the new Mandala embroidery.

Plus, it’s summer, my garden is booming and broccoli reminds me of french knots!

With just 5 days until the start of the 76th Annual League of New Hampshire Craftsmen’s Fair at Mt. Sunapee, I’ve been embroidering felt hats as fast as I can.

I love the over-sized caribou antler buttons on this hat (2008 #124)…

I’ll be in Tent 7, Booth 713 for all nine days of the Fair, with as much new work as I can muster!

I wanted a place to show off the very fun photos of happy hat customers that I have been able to collect recently…Happy Heirloom Handknit Hat owner, Lisha, at the 74th Annual League of New Hampshire Craftsmen's Fair at Mt. Sunapee Resort. And now I have one!  Thanks to some gentle encouragement, I have created a little fan club corner of this site. It is located on the Buzz page, along with my Scrapbook of press clips and tidbits.I intend to add photos in the coming months, as I receive more. Want to submit a snapshot of yourself/someone you love wearing one of my felt hats? Have a CCM Hat testimonial to share? Please leave a comment, or feel free to contact me.  There is nothing better than seeing the work of my hands grace someone else’s head (thanks, Lisha!).
