    Glad you like it - they are not difficult to make once you get the hang of them. Don't know how far back the method goes, my nana could remember the death of Queen Victoria and she learned to crochet as a child - my nana that is.
    You wear it well.

    My wife's wearing it now. My God she looks so cute in it. She looks she's 20 years old again. She loves it. But she won't let me take any pictures.

    Anne.... Thank You.

    Anne is a QUEEN.

    And my wife - who was always my queen - looks 20 years old again, wearing this. I'm moved.

    Nice job, Anne the Pleater.

    And you had it so short a time - my commiserations, I ought to have warned you as many others have reported the same thing happening to them after only a few hours.

    At least - if I remember correctly, you have someone making a knitted version for you. Maybe ask to have your name knitted in.

    lol - my wife has indeed taken ownership of that hat. Maybe she'll let me borrow it from time to time. She really loves it.
