Hi Dot. Like the rest I love your patterns and have used several of them. Looking for a light weight hat pattern for Spring. I have started wearing hats and love them. Everyone says they look nice. I like the ones with a wide brim as I wear my hair short, am gray and of course in my late 60's. Thanks again. Jat | |

Nice Hat! I am going to give it a try. I usually only make afghans because they don't need to fit any one but your directions look promising.
thank you. | |

This looks really lovely and I am really happy to have found your site and your patterns. This year of 2005 I am going to make these patterns and send them to different groups. I decided to do this as one of my projects after learning of Elizabeth Edwards and her struggle to battle breast cancer. Thank you Dot for all that you are doing. I know your work is helping so many people throughout the country that need help and love and care. Thank you for being a very special person. | |

Hi Debra. I appreciate you telling me that. Unfortunately I'm using a blog template and the font colors are pre-set. If you will copy and paste the pattern in a word document, then select all and change font color to black, you should be OK. I'm so happy you like my hat patterns. Thank you for taking the time to leave me a note. | |

Hi, I really love your hat patterns, but when I print them the instructions are so light, they're almost unreadable. Just thought you ought to know. Maybe you can fix it.
Thanks,
Debra | |
