Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Alan, I do have another, and have blocked it. It came out well, but I still need to sew a sweatband in. These are truly incredible hat bodies, and I keep an eye out for them, especially now that I have some panama blocks. As you know, they are as light and tightly woven as the best... -
