Furry in white with rose stripes Added by Ville Lahtinen

I am Ville Lahtinen, a Finnish snowboarder and young entrepreneur, and I run a small company called Outowear, which sells hand-made snowboarding and winter accessories. See http://www.outowear.com/.

On April 11th, Ms Sofia Laine emailed me and asked if I could make 260 unique beanies for participants at the Young Active Citizenship EU meeting, which takes place on 3rd of July, 2006 in Hyvinkaa. See http://citizenships.fi/. I said yes.

Normally I make all beanies by myself but this time I had to ask some help from my mother, Raija Lahtinen. Since April, we have crocheted about 4 beanies per day.

This beanie, Furry in white with rose stripes, is number 116 of 260. It is made of Finnish Novita yarn, which is, 45% wool, 30% polyamide, 25% acryl. For washing, I recommend hand wash in cold water.

In case you have any questions or you would like to order yourself another beanie, please write me an email to info@outowear.com. Also, you can leave me a note or a comment on Thinglink by signing up for a free Thinglink account.
