Her ears were cold

Made for my neighbor - her choice of yarn and pattern.   Matches the scarf I made first for her. 

Pattern:  Parisian Twist ear warmer

Yarn:  Berroco Borealis

Now that I look back, I don't think I posted about it.  A relatively quick knit - love knitting with bulky yarn.  Messed up the pattern at the beginning and had to rip it out a couple of times.  She picked out the pattern.

Pattern:  Loopluftikus.

My ears were cold

I'm not really the Jane Austen style sort.  So usually I have blown by the Jane Austen knits magazine ... until I saw this cute shop sample hat at 3 Bags Full.  I was charmed.

Pattern:  Walking to Meryton hat
Yarn:  Donegal Luxury Tweed Aran (yummy!!)


The pattern in the magazine uses a rather frightful fuchsia and turquoise combination.  The other ravelry examples definitely don't do it justice.

I made the medium version and, of course, it was a bit big so I tried to shrink it a bit in the dryer .... it felted a smidge, which I'm not entirely sure I like.
