The local Craft Market has started up again and the first Sunday a fellow approach me to ask if I had any rain hats. Not quite understanding what meant I hesitated. He tried to explain by adding, "You know, a wool hat. A toque that will keep the rain off me." I told him I had left all my toques at home as I didn't think anyone would be looking for a wool hat in 32C/90F degree weather. He practically demanded that I bring them next time. I knew I didn't have any man sized wool toques so I sat down and knit three for his perusal.


An Owl Toque


A Fish Toque


A Ribbed Toque

Would you like to know which one he chose last Sunday?
None because he never came back.
Oh well, my hats sell like hot cakes on Etsy.
I've only sold a total of three items at the Craft Market but, already, half my fees are paid for. I think this might be a good year at the market.

Whereas the first Sunday was unbearably hot the second was pouring rain, cool and so windy I thought my stall would blow away, like Dorothy's house. Next Sunday I'm hoping for weather that is somewhere in between.
