I've done a great deal of knitting, much of it in the Aran style, but when medical problems left me unable to knit it was a pleasure to be able to order a lovely hat as good as anything I could have made myself. The included picture shows the hat after a full winter's use(and that is a Canadian winter, to boot).
Upon checking the review before submitting it I observed that the pattern of the hat has been simplified since I bought mine. It is still attractive, and I'm sure still knit from the same high quality wool, but I would not be able to describe the new pattern as "as good as anything I could have made myself". In addition to the aesthetic enjoyment provided by the more complex patterns in Aran knitting, it is my experience that they provide greater warmth. Perhaps in a forthcoming season you may want to consider offering one or two designs at a higher price to give the option of those advantages again.
I am very glad I received the hat I did, and in the future would certainly consider paying more to ensure your fine knitters receive the wage they deserve for that kind of work.

This item was part of a set given as a holiday present to my assistant. It was a big hit and now that New England has finally hit a cold snap, it's in constant use. It's a solid piece of craftsmanship and something that's so well constructed, it will last for years.
