ETA a better light picture! :)Earflap Hat from KnitSimple Fall 07
Brown Sheep Burly Spun in Strawberry Patch
US 15 Denise and clover circs.
I ended up using the 2 circ method for finishing because the only US 15 dpn's I could find were $15..um..not!
Less than 1 skein used. For the straps, I cut 3 lengths of yarn for each, folded in half and attached like a tassel to the end of the earflap. Then I braided all 6 together. I like it much better. (still so hard to take red pictures! gah!) Plenty leftover for a scarf which I'll whip up next week before SAFF...so iffin it's cold there, I'll be wearing this and my EDCardi...which has 1 sleeve successfully on!
Here's me and my knitting pal the other Christine! She just started her own blog! We have a good laugh together..and um..er..a bit of my sock yarn love has rubbed off on her! Yikes. I call her the other Christine as I don't want to confuse her with other Christine who I'd love to have join in with us...then we'd all be confused..I am now..are you ;)Well off to sew...not as a productive weekend as I wanted...sigh..never seems to be, but all are happy and well fed around here so I can't complain.

So cute! And enough yarn for another one! Fabulous.
Cute! I so hear you on the "I want to knit/I want to sew".
I want to knit/I want to spin.
Just not enough time...
You know, I once lived with 2 Christines at the same time! Now I only have one Christine friend, but there sure are a lot of them, aren't there?
Its a good thing your name isn't Christine! Then you'd have to go around introducing yourselves as "Hi I'm Christine, this is my friend Christine and this is my other friend Christine".
Remember the Newhart show "Daryll, his brother Daryll and his other brother Daryll"
Great hat! It looks nice and cozy, especially for the ears (one of my colder parts). :)
As for your Cardi, go, go, go! We all can't wait to see!
