Sunday morning....

....Papa Bear has been called out this morning to plow yet more snow. And the girls are having a lazy morning, leaving me to spend mine in bliss. :)

Listening to a cozy mystery from Audible

While listening, I'm knitting on a hat for a young girl. Using hand-painted fingering weight superwash/nylon doubled. And knitting it at approx 5 1/2sts/inch. I'm going to a rolled brim to create a fun, simple hat. 

I finished two more hats this week, both are sized for ladies. One is a simple cuffed hat, knit in a hand/dyed worsted weight wool. The turned up brim means that ears will be nice & warm against the blustery winds of winter.

And the other is an ear flap hat. I found this pattern on Ravelry. Norwegian Star Earflap Hat by Tiennie at http://tiennie.com

I knit this one with a double strand of fingering weight wool and a gauge of approximately 5sts/inch. It was requested by a teacher that wants to wear it while on yard duty. I hope it helps keep her warm!

Enjoy your day - it's snowing here and after a bit of tidying, I've got the day to devote to knitting.
