Long E. Legs---liked your bio. Especially about the hats. Love hats, but since I'm almost Amish and live and work on a ranch, I don't have much of a place to wear them. solved the problem by making a hat for every job. I have a gardening hat covered with flowers, a chefs hat for cooking, and my favorite, a "chicken hat" for tending chickens. It finally became so outlandish with feathers, I'm almost embarased to wear it. I think it was the red octrich feathers that put it over the edge.

Hats are wonderful. I wish I had more. I wear them too! Make them sometimes, mostly by crochet and knitting.

I have the opposite problems of Long Elegant Legs - finding petites in my size! 62 and 1/2 inches, and stout. Definitely a problem.

You make your own hats? That's so cool!
I think your chicken hat sounds beautiful; One day, I'll have a big, brimmed hat with ostrich feathers and ribbons all over it; I love how the feathers bounce. I hope to find a pattern to knit a cloche hat, once I get a little more time.

"chicken hat" I have a chicken hat. It has a chicken on it and I wear it when I'm stressed out so I don't take myself too seriously. It is getting rather shabby so I would love to make a new one. Do you have a photo or instructions or both?
