Sochi Norwegian Fjord Beanie and Selfies

I am so proud to present a work-up of Snowcatcher's pattern for a....

Fjord Beanie.

You can check-out Snowcatcher's beautiful warm blog for a delightful visit here.

The pattern for the hat and the snowflake can be found there, here and here, 

respectively and respectfully.

She is an amazingly talented lady!

This Fjord Beanie was made with the following yarn:

Isn't the inclusion of gray nice?

I am so happy with this hat, that speaks to me from my home country,

 that I was even willing to include a couple of selfies:

(Note the cropping of the braces. ;-) )

The next hat will be embellished with the Norwegian flag; however, 

this hat was embellished with this delicate snowflake, also designed by Snowcatcher,

 in honor and memory of Sarah Burke. Sarah Burke was a gold medalist hopeful, 

who tragically lost her life while training for her sport; a sad and heart wrenching story. 

Lots of loving and continued healing thoughts go out to her family and friends; she will be remembered.

Thank you Snowcatcher 

for sharing your talent and your love!
