The challenge is to create a hat that incorporates bead. For this you will receive a bit more than 4 ounces of white Falkland top and sixty Czech glass beads in assorted colors.
The rules are:
1) No other materials than the ones provided may be used for the hat.
2) At a minimum, there have to be 20 securely attached beads on the finished hat.
Any fiber art (e.g. knitting, crocheting, weaving, braiding, felting) or combination thereof is allowed in the construction of the hat. The fiber may be dyed.
The beads may be attached in whichever way fits the design the best (e.g. spun into the yarn, set while knitting, embroidered on). If choosing embroidery, note that the thread has to be spun from the fiber provided.
Finished hats should be submitted latest by 10:30 am on January 11th, 2025. With the submission, include a short description of the methods used. Judging will happen by popular vote in the categories ‘Most Beautiful’, ‘Most Creative’, and ‘Most Practical’.
Fiber and beads will available at the October, November and December guild meetings. If you wish to participate, but can't attend the guild meetings, contact Angelika
