Danish Earflap Cap, fiddlehead mittens

Sophia's fiddlehead mittens, all finished and blocked, and it turns out they may fit her for this year! She's very proud of her work! Oh, and that's Bristol from A Piece of Vermont, in September and Romantic, a lovely combination.
Here's the hat she made for Dad's birthday--Lamb's Pride bulky, to match the sweater I made for him. This was her first colorwork pattern, and she did it in about 2 days in September.
And Here's the Danish Earflap Cap from Hats On! by Charlene Schurch (I'm quite sure that's not the spelling. I used Brownsheep Naturespun superwash worsted. It was a fun knit and I especially love the top of the pattern, which it turns out, looks just like the white space in the snowflakes. So cool!
Here's the top. I learned to make a lanyard braid for this project, which was fun.

For the last day or so I've been working up charts for a lace piece that I'm designing, and I think that got Sophia going. She decided to make one of these hats, but using her own charts. I'll show you what she comes up with. she's already done the lining and earflaps and has attached the lining to the outside of the hat. She's really coming along.

Love the earflap hat! I'd like to make one for each of my kids. It's the second hat I've seen on blogs just today from Charlene's book. I'd better figure out how to purchase it!

I love the Fiddlehead mitts! They're on my queue already or I'd queue them based on seeing your finished ones!
