Finished Object Friday

I hope everyone in the US survived Thanksgiving.  We had a great time cooking and watching football.      Today I have something to share that I am very thankful for.  About a year ago, actually maybe longer, I saw a call for submissions from Vogue for a hat book they were planning.  As a lark I sent in my design for my Masters Level and I was completely shocked when it was accepted.  The book came out several weeks ago, Vogue Knitting, The Ultimate Hat  but the pictures of patterns were just uploaded last week.  My hat was selected as their Beret example.

I am so honored to be in this book.  It really is a very complete guide to hats, describing the patterns and shaping of all types of hats.  It is definitely on my list of things to be thankful for.  And if you are a close reader of my blog, you will remember that my Masters Hat (in different colors) won the ribbon at the state fair.
Shows the difference color makes.

Have a great Friday, especially if this is a holiday for you and check out the great projects at Tami's and     Wisdom Begins in Wonder.
