I knitted my son Stephen a neck and face warmer using this pattern from Bernat. You have to be a member of www.bernat.com to see it but it is free to join and they have tons of patterns.

The pattern was easy to follow but I wish that it had been made on circular needles instead of straight and then sewn together. When you use the variegated yarn you can see a seam when it is sewn together. I don’t see any reason why it could not have been sewn on circular and when I make one next year for my brother-in-law I will do it that way.
Stephen loved it and is currently out in the woods somewhere wearing it.
He looks a bit like a masked robber in that last picture. haha. I hope that he puts it to good use keeping warm in the woods. What I liked about it was it offered warmth without having anything dangling to get in the way when he is hunting.
I am currently on vacation and have spent two full days cleaning on my craft room. I have come to the conclusion that I really can not buy anything else craft related until I make a huge dent in what I currently have. Especially yarn. I have five tubs of yarn that I need to use. Geeze, that is a lot of yarn.
I am currently working on a shawl for myself and beaded scarf for myself. I have been making so many things for everyone else that I am finally taking some time for me.
I have put a lot of my craft items into a stack for my daughter-in-law to go through tomorrow. If she wants them they are hers. She loves to do crafts and especially scrapbooks for the little man, Caleb. You can’t go wrong when you are doing something with pictures of Caleb. He is such a cutie.
