Original Jan-Knit Design - 2007Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, the Cascade Mountain Range has always been my home. When wearing the hat, three of the lace “mountains” are visible at one time, reminding me of The Three Sisters. My yarn is recycled from a thrifted sweater. It is 100% wool that I hand dyed with food-quality colors. The blues/purples are not unlike the sunset skies over the mountains of Oregon.
