Jess Dudek-Viens has been an artist all her life. One fateful night, over sushi and a glass of wine, Tasha taught her how to knit and surprise, surprise.......she's hooked!
By immersing herself in this new world, Jess discovered the magic of felting. Going on a "shopping spree", Jess found several wool sweaters and decided that she was going to bond with her sewing machine and her imagination. Here are some of the pictures showing the steps involved in her creative design....
Here she is pinning together the pieces she cut without a template......
One side of her hat.....
The crown.....
Some felted ribbing from another sweater....
Here it is with a ribbed edging....
She decided to stretch the ribbing and turn it up on itself and sew it down to give it that fabulous tiered look.
What a cute hat, right?? Her friend Emmett is so lucky that Jess loves him the way she does!! And because she loved the process so much, she is already making another one!! We're proud of you, Jess!!

We can't say we're surprised by what our knitting family comes up with because they are all brilliant people. But we can say we are thoroughly impressed by their beautiful visions and their ability to bring those visions to fruition. Keep it up!!
Happy Knitting and Crocheting everyone!!
