bumbershootEvery year Seattle celebrates Labor Day with Bumbershoot–one of the largest music and urban arts festivals in the world. Maybe I’m the last to know, but in addition to great acts like Sheryl Crow, Franz Ferdinand, Modest Mouse, and Jason Mraz, there will also be great representation from the local craft movement. And I thought it was just a music festival.

This September 5-7, Bumbershoot’s Indie Market will showcase over one hundred artists, crafters, and designers selling clothing, accessories, art and clever creations.

The Hourglass Beanie – Free Crochet Pattern

Looking for a fresh burst of creativity to start the new year? Look no further than the Hourglass Hat pattern, paired with the stunning TGWTH hand-dyed yarns! As a crafter always on the lookout for new projects, I couldn’t wait to dive into this knitting pattern and explore the vibrant world of hand-dyed yarns.

First off, let me tell you about the pattern itself. The Hourglass Hat pattern is a true gem, offering a delightful blend of style and simplicity. As someone who’s more accustomed to crochet, I found the instructions easy to follow, and the end result was nothing short of fabulous. The finished hat has a classic yet contemporary feel, making it the perfect accessory for chilly winter days or breezy spring afternoons.

Now, let’s talk about the yarn. Oh, where do I even begin? The TGWTH hand-dyed yarns are an absolute dream to work with. Each skein is a work of art in itself, bursting with vibrant colors and subtle nuances that add depth and character to any project. I opted for the sock yarn base, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. The merino wool and nylon blend is soft, yet sturdy, ensuring that my hat will not only look great but also stand the test of time.
