Actually, I have a pattern for what I call 'Umbilical Cord' hats for infants and preemies that has the little 'stalk' on the top of it....it wouldn't take much adaptation to make bigger, and I can get metallic silver yarn....wow, I may be able to corner the market for those! Just imagine...no more wearing scratchy tin foil hats, Dharma's knitted silver hats work just was well and they're softer and more durable too!

That is awesome, it reminds me of a million photos my mom has of me that she pulls out to embarass me.

Awww....cute kids Dharma! They remind me of what I still am today. The tinfoil hats are so totally awesome!!

And yes I can see where they get their weirdness from! But who says it's a bad thing?

you truly are a woman with everything, karen !. i take my hat off to you (pardon the pun). i think your hat business has potential (i'm not being silly, either, you have real talent).

It's not a bad thing, really...I always said that I wanted to raise independent, free thinking kids who weren't afraid to be 'different'...and that's exactly what they're turning out to be.

Miggy: I've been thinking for a while about starting to sell these hats but I just never had an outlet for them. Now that we're moving to a more metropolitan and boemian area I might be able to find a market for them..and if I can't, then there's always eBay!

i say go for it, dharma!. i think it would be difficult to see your workmanship on ebay, though. moving to a bohemian area sounds like just the thing. i'm seeing more and more hand knitting in australia, it's a great old tradition made new again. i wish i'd stuck by learning to knit !.

You're absolutely right, which is why I haven't listed any of my items on there before now. I think I'm going give knitted items as gifts for Christmas this year - hopefully word of mouth will get me some orders.

I think I'm going to limit myself to hats, mittens, scarves and bags. Sweaters take too damn long and are a pain in the ass.
