I really had no intention of grabbing more yarn at the Frontenac Library knitting meeting today. Then a young man rolled in on his electric wheelchair and handed over a bag full of his mother’s leftover yarns. My hand immediately grabbed these two. I do believe that orange and rust are my favourite colours.
The rust is a tad thinner than what usually passes as worsted weight; it only has three actual plies.
For the headband, I’m alternating two rows each yarn. If the rust lasts into the top of the hat, I’ll continue, helix-wise, alternating every round.

I began it on the two orange plastic Perfecto brand double-pointed (eight and ten-twelfths inches needles I use when grafting the round dishcloths. No good reason to change needles, until the earflaps.
