Winter Blooms in Milano PDF Print E-mail

These headbands, dyed up, spun, knit and felted from Maine wool, are now gracing the heads of two of Patrizia's lovely daughters in Milano, Italy!!  I designed this kit for the Portland Fiber Gallery last year.  Patrizia was in the Gallery at 229 Congress Street getting some pointers on turning a heel on her travelling sock before her flight back to Italy when she saw the picture of my daughter Devan wearing the headband.  Devan, as you know, models for me all the time because she is beautiful, biddable, and will model for her mother for free.

Patrizia and I communicated surprisingly well considering that her English is twice as good as my Italian which is nonexistant.  She managed to convey to me that she wanted two of these made and shipped to her in Milano, Italy before November 1st.  Was this possible????  Just barely, I managed to get across to her, but yes....possible.
I shipped them off on October 14 and Devan and I are delighted to think of them wandering around the streets of Italy.  The colors were dyed over a brown Maine wool of particular background.  The wool was then spun and knit up.  I washed them in the washing machine twice to get them to felt sufficiently and then needle felted the flowers onto the surface.  I then knit up some handspun merino (for softness next to the ears) to make the lining, pressed the be-Jesus out of them to get the edges nice and flat and raced them to the Post Office.  I hope they made it in time -- two weeks should be enough don't you think?
