Hats for Cats Headcount

In October 07 I decided to make Dave King a hat. I like his music, he shaves his head and lives in Minnesota--why not do my part to keep his head warm? The whole thing snowballed, or yarn-balled, after that. Making hats for jazz musicians and others in the jazz world became an ongoing thing. It's basically an excuse for watching Law & Order reruns.

Here's the list of people who have Hats for Cats so far. If you happen to find a black hat with a green stripe and a Hats for Cats label inside, please return it to Dan Eikmeier at the Dakota. It was stolen from his car last year.
