Not knitting - felt turkey hats
This is the evening's project. Why am I making turkey hats?
Because we're making a short movie of a square dance to promote our community's dance weekend, Breaking Up Thanksgiving, and of course ... we need eight turkey hats.
This is a prototype and the pictures are mostly for the benefit of Lynn, who also sort of volunteered to make hats.
I think I won't use black thread next time. It was what was in the machine, but I think I might try threading it with clear nylon. Or pick a neutral like gray or beige. When I go to the store next, I'll see about googly eyes, too. I don't have good buttons.
Hat deployed on head:
Detail of elastic - that's about a 2.5 inch piece of 3/4-inch elastic.
Hat flat.

They have a dance in Warrenville twice a month. If you can't wait that long, though, there is a dance at Ida Noyes hall at the University of Chicago this Saturday. Best of all, Meg and I are playing for it.
