Emma, they all look very nice. Do you think I can buy one in February in Nettetal?
That could be very easy for all German snowdrophat lovers.

History in the making....

2009 - 1 single snowdrop hat was spotted at a popular London event and reported on the internet (which I recognise as being worn by Emma's Mum):

2010 -  2 snowdrop hat ladies are spotted at the same annual London, not to be missed, event during 2010:

2011 - The snowdrop hat ladies makes it onto national television - sadly no longer available to view online  :'(

http://www.bbc.co.uk/connect/campaigns/firstclickfriends_carol.shtml   (it was about 3.45 minutes in. Snowdrop hat lady's hat got a mention.)    :'(

2012 - the snowdrop hats are breeding - SRGC Forum member KentishLass is spotted unveiling one of Emma's distinguished creations in addition to Emma and her mum):

Well......

2013 might the first man be spotted at the RHS snowdrop show wearing ones of Emma's creations??? 

I mention this as my postman has just delivered me a wonderful surprise gift of lovely hand knitted black hat with not one, but three bunches of snowdrops embroidered on it.  Four flowers in bud, four single flower, and five double flowers..   ;D 

Thanks Emma - you have judged my big head perfectly.   :)  8)  ;D  :-*

(sorry about the ugly model trying his best to do the fashion magazine poses.   ::) )

(size UK 59cm (US 7 1/2) if anyone else is in a knitting mood and needs a male model  :D )
