This month I knitted a fun "camo" hat with earflaps that I am going to send to my nephew in cold Vermont. The pattern came from a Knitty Gritty episode. The pattern called for Lorna's Laces Shepherd Bulky yarn. It wasn't available locally, so I used Bernat's "Solo" bulky in the color Lichen. And I trimmed it with 2 strands of orange yarn. The Red Heart yarn I first bought for this project needs 3 strands to make the gauge. I still may try it with that many strands. I used double point needles for the first time. They were used near the top while decreasing. The hat is knitted in the round and it was easy to attach the second earflap and then knitting in the round.














I also made another pair of wrist warmers. I'm keeping these! I saw this yarn at Michael's and fell in love! I used Patons Classic Wool Merino in the color Palais.

Now on my needles is a scarf called Besotted.
And I bought yarn to make a "six-hour sweater".
