I promised Cassie that I would leave a rave review on my site and then got busy with company and class and fell behind. Cassie made me the most wonderful hat. I sent her a description of the one I have that was worn out and she asked for measurements and made me this new lovely one. I walk everyday at least a mile or more and with my short hair keeping the ears warm is a must. This hat does the trick and even looks good. Cheers to Cassie and all of the great crafters on this site.
