It has been really cold in San Francisco (39 degrees right now). All of my friends have been complaining about how freezing it is….
All I could say was “Put on a hat!”
I spent 11 hours making polar fleece and wool jersey rollup hats. Polar fleece is very warm and soft…water repellent and wind proof….so no more complaining!
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
22 finished hats in 11 hours...
...and about a dozen more hats in the works.
