Knitting commission sought

[Matt.S]

Hi all,

I'm wondering if anyone here is able to knit a copy of the Jayne Cobb hat (one example with pattern is here http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=19076.20) in wool (not acrylic).

Let me know what you'd be wanting me to pay/trade! (I would try making it myself but it'd end up a straggley mess.)

Cheers,
Matt

Try a PM to Toddy she seems to have some knitting connections

I thought I recognised your avatar, but when you mentioned the name it made sense. I never realised it was a bespoke hat.

you'd have to be really brave to wear a hat like that

Just seen this one.

Okay, confession time, I can knit, but I have to really really like you to knit for you, 'cos I get impatient doing it and want it done *now* and because I want it done right I won't compromise and I get grumpy.

Chainsaw's Mum is a knitter, and her work is lovely. Cobweb or Xylaria might be up for this too and their work is always good

You do realise that the lopi wool alone for that hat will cost the better part of a tenner though ?

I do like that little pocoyo hat Melonfish .......pretty easy to work out a pattern I reckon, just use one of the standard British wee boys helmet hats patterns, knit the flaps first, don't rib any band and don't add the pompom. Neat

cheers,
Toddy
