WIP 15

Happy Wednesday everyone!  It is certainly a happy one for the school aged kids where I live.  We're enjoying a snow day!  Well actually it will end up turning into a slush day later on, but hey we woke up with 5 inches on the ground.

Here are some things that are currently on the needles:

Morning walk
Working with Lion Brand Homespun is difficult, but not impossible.  A friend requested this specific yarn for her headband earwarmers, and it's a gorgeous color too.

I'm in a bulky yarn spree, since I know it will be a quick knit as well as a great stashbuster.
Capitan
I think that this is a gorgeous red color for this newsboy cap.

Hop over to Tami's Amis blog to see what other craftsters are up to this Wednesday.

Working with Homespun can definitely be a challenge---I made some teeny tiny crocheted owls in it last year, and even though they were about two inches, I was so happy to finish them. And I think that red is a gorgeous colour for a hat, too. I might need a red hat...

I've not worked with Homespun. But then I usually working sock yarn for most things.

I like the blue of the headband.

I never, ever use chunky yarn. And I love the way it looks. Hmm... Must investigate. Also, thanks for the link to that newsboy hat -- it's just been plopped into my queue -- super cute!

I'm jealous of your snow day! We had 1 inch on the ground on New Year's, but it was the only snow we've had in a few years. I do think that Homespun looks nice knit up! That cap is going to be great too. I agree that the red is gorgeous. : )

Both patterns that you are working on are so cute. My niece is always asking me to knit her a warm ear cover and the headband pattern is perfectly adorable. Thanks for the link! Can't wait to see both of your projects knitted up!

I don't usually buy chunky yarn, so recently when I decided to do a yarn diet, I made sure to buy some chunky to have it in my stash. I can't wait to use it, because I haven't used chunky much. Love both your projects!
