Yes, it's a snowy day. Yes, we've been indoors all day. Yes, the kids had the day off from school. But no, I didn't manage to knit the ribbed cowl hood or crochet the ear flap hat today. I merely finished them and photographed them today.
The ribbed cowl hood is a pattern from Morehouse Merino. (Picture) The yarn is Plymouth Encore. [The charming young model has a dress knit from the same yarn. This cowl hood finished up the last of the Plymouth Encore left over from making that dress.] I knit this one on a rosewood needle from Lantern Moon. Yum - I love knitting with those needles. As they get warm from working they smell SO NICE. They also have just the right amount of friction for happy knitting. Their points are a wee bit sharp, however. If I could change one thing, I'd dull the points a bit.
The ear flap hat is from a Caron pattern. I made it in Leader acrylic yarn. My #2 child said I should skip the ties and tassels because they just get in the way. The hat certainly stays put on a head and covers ears thoroughly without dangling ties and tassels.
I have another ear flap hat that needs to be finished, photographed, and uploaded. I hope to finish that tonight.
