I sure could use a new hat to keep my frozen ears warm!

Posted by: Elisabeth at November 29, 2004 10:17 AM

Perhaps some fingerless mitts to replace the ones I lost from last year....

Posted by: Renee at November 29, 2004 10:23 AM

I think a hat would be just the thing now that the weather has turned.

Posted by: Drake at November 29, 2004 10:24 AM

Mmmm, yummy yarn! Might as well put me down for this one too!

Posted by: Amy Lu at November 29, 2004 10:35 AM

Since black is slimming, do you think this hat-to-be would make my head look skinny?

A pair of black fingerless mitts would be very cool! But, er..., my location is Hong Kong, am I eligible for the raffle?

Posted by: Siow Chin at November 30, 2004 1:03 AM

I love making hats, especially for DH with his military-short hair. Cold ears are so very un-sexy....

Posted by: Annie at November 30, 2004 8:39 AM

Hat me, Alison :)

Posted by: Donna at November 30, 2004 9:17 AM

I've never made anything with Rowan before...it doesn't fit my beer budget. Thanks for the awesome blog!
