  • Hello friends! This is halloween, halloween, halloween! And because I'm invited to a halloween party I need a new witch's hat! The old polyester one is looking a bit sad, so I am felting myself a new one. For the wet felting of this had I am using some Dutch Spotted Sheep's wool. I am a complete noob when it comes to wet felting, so more experienced felters: be warned, this might be a horror movie for you.
    And because I am such a noob at felting, I had to bust out my visible mending skills because my new hat had some holes in it. But I do feel spooky, and witchy in it!

    Ok, if you scrolled down this far, I might just gift you with my views on J.K. Rowling and Harry Potter: I love the HP series, it has shaped my childhood and teenage years. As is evidenced with me being able to recite Trelawney in 'the Prisoner of Azkaban' without so much as batting an eye. I view myself as a proud Hufflepuff. As a Hufflepuff I find it important to be loyal, kind and trustworthy. J.K. Rowlings' stand on biologic sex stand directly against everything I stand for. Trans women are women as much as trans men are men, and as much as I am a woman, thank you very much. Feminism should never exclude anyone, especially not those who are struggling even harder than I, as a cisgender white woman, am.

    I absolutely love your witches’ hat!
    If over the years it gets a few holes and weak spots, you might consider getting a felting tool and adding a few bits of fleece here and there. Perhaps a flashlight can help there. A few additional patches, and it only gets better the older it gets!
    What I love even more compared to the commercial one, is its imperfection. 🤩

      @@MijnWolden - Sanity, at least sanity to a full 100%, is vastly overrated. We al benefit from being slightly cuckoo hete and there. The measure of what we perceive as ‘slightly’ is relative.
      Just a few days ago I described myself as ‘Totalspinnerin’ to a German colleague. A not-so-subtle wordplay to me being various degrees of insane and a spinner. His reaction was: “Well, you fit right in.” We’re all various degrees of complete and utter fruitcakes at work.

    If you ask me, witches hats only look right when felted. Any seamline is disruptive

    The visible mending is very cute. I was wondering, would needle felting a few additional fibers here and there be an option to provide reinforcement without having to reshape the hat or outright cover the mending? Or do you think it would make it draw in on itself? (I am also a felting beginner haha)

      Needle felting seems daunting, I have yet to try that craft!

      You're welcome 🥰 but yes, I feel like it's important to say that although I love Harry Potter, I distance myself from J.K. Rowling and her ''gender critical'' friends
