Warm hats and cozy cowls

My afternoon Chicks are back! Well, some of them are anyway. Debbie is back from her winter break to warmer weather and she returned with a lovely rose colored hat. 
 The stitching gives a lovely texture which will make it warmer for the wearer.
 Barbara finished her Cushy Cowl using Shields of Garnet color of Periwinkle Sheep yarn. The texture of this cowl is also very insulating against the cold.
 Beth is back from her winter sabbatical too. She added this Noro yarn cowl. Lovely colors!
 And also this Fair Isle knitted tube which is grafted together so it's one continuous double thick cowl.
 
 She immediately cast on for another using the same yarns in the opposite stitching.
Beth's daughter visited tonight. That's her on the right. Gretchen knitted a lovely persimmon colored sweater for herself.
 Carole added a few more inches to her Wolkig cowl. With each row it's getting to look less and less like an octopus and more like a cowl.
 Dorah finished her Copy Cat Beanie and had enough yarn left to start a headband.
I finished the 1898 hat last week. It was a two day project which was an interesting knit.
I enjoyed making it so much I started another one today. I have to graft the ends together and pick up stitches for the crown and then I'll have another to add to the inventory.
At this rate I could knit a couple of hats a week in between my other projects. Oh wait... I have to eat and sleep too. Never mind! ;)
