Surprise Hat

I whipped this earflap hat up in a couple of hours the past few evenings, feeling guilty that I had promised to make it for my son's co-worker, Keith, and hadn't gotten around to it yet.. we are planning to go over to Lake Tahoe tomorrow, so thought I better get to it!




The shrug is still on the WIP list, but only needs about 2/3 of the second sleeve, then blocking and finishing. -- just sent me a tip about Clover blocking pins (I thought they were diaper pins in her blog photo!) so I am going looking for them this weekend in anticipation of being ready for that stage early next week. I will probably finish up a second earflap hat, this one for Cody, today and work on Red Scarfs while I am gone, but then hustle to finish the shrug before my package of yarn from JoAnns arrives.
