Okay, so after my last post I tried to felt the hat down to a human size. But some of the bulky yarn did not want to felt, it must have been pre-felted. So the hat still looked like it might fit an elephant. I decided to cut mittens out and then add a little more knitting to the hat so that it came over the ears a bit. I think it worked out pretty well. The mittens are super warm and cozy. Next time, I will not try to substitute needles that are four sizes too big!
And we got to enjoy a white Christmas! Thankfully, Grandma finally arrived from the airport after a long night of cancelled flights and delays. We are getting in a lot of sledding while the snow is good.

Well, I think it turned out pretty cute. Alls well that ends well. Enjoy the snow! We sure are!

Your hat looks great! That snow looks so nice and refreshing.
Very clever and oh so adorable mama!!!! I just updated my blog with my newest yummy yarn stash, perhaps I should knit a hat like yours (one in a size that fits!)
