THE LATEST HATS

Random snowflakes define the character of T's hat.

A hat made with Falkland Islands yarn hand spun by our friend Kim Chater.
Blended with Lamb's Pride for strength and heft.

My favorite of the three albatross hats, made aboard ship especially for Save The Albatross auctions:

The three hats raised a total of $1,120 for Save The Albatross.

A hat for "Andy Pants," our hotel manager assistant aboard the Ioffe last season.
It perfectly matches this season's new staff parka (see above photo).

It was made to match his messenger bag. I included a patch to remember last year's awesome Antarctic season.


Eva´s hat, above. She´d asked for sunset colors. I think it´s the most dynamic color combination ever. The shading is very pleasing.
Below, her best friend, Karin´s hat, with colors to match her Arcteryx jacket.

Christine helps me model the penguin hats. Macaroni and gentoo.

Next, the Russian sailor hat. Christine models it, a little further down.

It was a busy Antarctic season with the addition of 12 new hats to the collection.
