Purple is great.

It was super warm in SoCal today; 80F. And the second Warm Swell finished drying. Just in time... cause I was getting cold...

Decreases on the top. With two tassels.

I used short rows to make the earflaps this time. It worked pretty well. I think the earflaps lie flatter using this technique. However, correct placement is very important. The first time I completed the earflaps they were nowhere near the natural anatomic position of my ears. Ooops. I got it right the second time.

And the waves on this hat aren't the only purple things around here these days.

So pritty!

Eric sent me beautiful purple flowers for Valentine's Day! Thanks honey! :D
