This earflap cap for Miss P came off the needles just in time for the current single digit temperatures.
The pattern is the Danish Earflap Cap from Hats On by Charlene Schurch. The yarn is Artyarns Supermerino. The hem is knit on size 4 needles and the outer hat is knit on size 6.
I checked Ravelry and saw that her favorite hat that she still wears was finished FOUR years ago. It barely covers any of her forehead now. I made sure to allow for some growing room in this hat.
She loves the braided ties on this one and that it is SUPER warm with the double layer of the hem.In decreasing the top, I added alternate knit rounds between the decrease rounds to keep the top more smooth as I did when making D's new hat.
Here's hoping we have lots of snow to play in this year!! **links to amazon are affiliate links
Beach Glass and Seaweed Socks
My Beach Glass and Seaweed Sock pattern is available in my shop.This is the first time I have written out a pattern in an official way for others to purchase. Coming up with the design was the easy part.
I had fun with the design and was pleased to get the ribbing to transition into the easy-to-memorize four row pattern repeat. 
Putting the pattern into words so that other knitters can repeat the design came next. The biggest challenge, however, seemed to be getting the pattern into PDF format for easy download.Thanks to Adele, who test knit the pattern and helped with the technical writing and D for making the PDF conversion after I spent hours on it and couldn't get the formatting the way I wanted. Thanks to M for taking the great photos for the pattern and Barb for the name.
Thanks also to P and B who helped with the first photo shoot that really didn't work out very well.
And while I'm at it I should thank my mother and grandmother for teaching me the love of needlework.
Photo shoots can be fun!
Actually, I enjoyed the process so much that another design is already under way.
