That's pretty cool. I'm not up to your talent/experience level.

I should disclose I have just became a registered hobbyist and plan to sell the bonnets I knit. I don't want you guys to share techniques with me without knowing. I'm still going to blog about how I make them as I go. I doubt I'm going to be much competition to anyone else at the speed I can make them.

Anne has given me permission to sell the bonnets based on her pattern if I provide attribution and state that anyone can make their own bonnet with her pattern, along with a link to the pattern on ravelry.com. I need a few more under my belt before I'm willing to sell them. I don't think the quality is quite there yet.
