Behold, Rowan kid classic leftovers from the hotties (hot water bottle covers) that I made for my great aunts. I love this yarn and these two colors together and have been waiting for a reason to make myself a beautiful something-or-other with them. A new beginner's knitting class seemed like a perfect opportunity. Since the beginner's class is a hat class, every new class means a new hat for me, but I'm getting tired of making the same old hat every time. So while my students make my beginner's hat, I'll be knitting this "foxy beret" pattern (Rowan's name) I found free online to Rowan members. I'll be doing the beret in narrow stripes like the scarf (I'm actually planning on making that scarf for my mom with some Manos Stria that I bought on my last NYC trip - soon....).

The name "hotties" brought my blog so many interesting hits (see this post) that you know I gotta keep the "foxy" name for this project. It is the same yarn, after all. These four balls of kid classic sure are causing a commotion!
