keeping my ears warm

When we were in Washington over Christmas, it was cold and rainy.  I had my silk scarfs with me, which I have been wearing to keep my ears warm and hair out of food.  But they were really not warm enough for my parents house and I had allergies going.  Which means that I was headed for an ear infection which I really did not wish. 

My parents have always kept the house on the chilly side of warm during winter.  It is just easier to put another sweater on.  But I needed more then my scarfs and I did not really wish to wear a hat, so I found out where the closest local yarn store was, got driven there, and bought yarn.  Yes, I bought yarn for a headband but mitts were also made.  And a hat.  And more mitts.  And. . .  There will be more pictures.

I was really pleased with how it turned out.  I have been wearing it around our cold and gloominess in Texas as well.  When the sun came out, I did go back to silk.  And the best thing was that I did not get an ear infection even with allergy sniffles!  This is exciting.  I do plan to make another.  I will actually have to figure out what I did the first time, which took much pulling out!

I am just going to laugh at myself now!
