The details of the process, pattern, yarn, and modifications can be found on my main blog, posted here.
I loved making the hem. It finished the hat off in such a neat & tidy way.

Here are a series of pictures showing the Ganomy Hat, by Elizabeth Zimmerman. This was my first Zimmerman pattern, and I found it to be equally satisfying and frustrating. 
The photos that you see here were all taken before a good soaking and blocking. The hat actually looks much better now, post-soak and post-block. The yarn really softened up and the rough spots and bumps of the stitches smoothed right out.
You can find the details of the hat, and the process of making it, on my blog posts: here and here (you'll have to scroll down on the second post to find the details of Ganomy).
And now I leave you with the bust of Hemingway, modeling the Ganomy.

I am thirty-four. I share my life with a handsome Hemingway-type man, and the spirit of our dandy Bosie-type golden retriever, and two new cats, named Morph & Rufus. I am a PhD Candidate (ABD) and a lecturer of English literature. I am a Canadian Prairie girl a la Joni Mitchell stranded (momentarily?!) on the Plains of the American Southwest. I'm using this hyperspace, thanks to my Nikon camera, to document my attempts at living a creative, responsible, healthy, handmade life in defiance of corporations and multinationals that push us into thoughtless mass consumerism and destructive consumption. Therefore, I knit, I craft, I thrift, I run, I bike, I garden, I read, I walk, I write, I bird, I sew, I recycle, I reuse, I give, I receive, I create and sustain, I meditate and do yoga... . I believe in a well-crafted, creative, thoughtful, responsible, and sustainable life. I don't believe in lifestyles.
