11/26/12 It’s done and I love it. I need to get better pics. It’s hard to photograph yourself. I still need to weave in the ends and steam but I love it and I don’t want to take it off. :) Now I have to make one for Alex and a maybe a brown one for me too.

Started with Pali on US 4 using a Sport instead of DK for this section. Wanted it a little tighter to stay on my head.
Body added Wingspan in Mini Mica held with the Pali Metalsmith for a DK weight simulation. Stayed on US 4 needles as I don’t’ want too much slouch.
Now switched to Nobel with Metalsmith for a gradation of color getting lighter as I go.
Using these colors as my hair is turning grey. Need a hat in between hair dye jobs. :)

Using Magic Loop with 1 loop for bigger tubes. Will switch to 2 loops has I decrease the crown.
