Winter Hat From The Wool Festival. The Shaman Look

The Shaman Look

Maria and I made our annual pilgrimage to the Adirondack Wool and Fiber Festival today in Greenwich, N.Y. Each year I buy a winter wool hat and I almost gave up the search until I came across this very unusual hat with colored threads all along the top.

I can’t say why, but I loved it, and so did Maria. She bought it for me. Everyone around me urged me to buy it, so we did, and I think it will make people in my town either smile or chase me down the street. You never know.

I looked in a mirror at the stall, and I said to Maria, “I like it, but it does look a little strange.”

“We are strange,” she said. True enough.

The more I look at it, the more it grows on me. And I have to say, it is unusual, I think the sheep will especially love it. I imagine it will make its first appearance in November, unless it really gets cold.

  1. Looks a bit like Gus sat on your head, and enjoyed tugging the wool…I wouldn’t chase you, I’d be one of the smilers.

  2. Hat’s off to…..a most unusual hat…..Maria summed it up beautifully: We are strange, and we all move on from there. Hope your day with Robin is going perfectly…
