It was cold out...

...so I made an earwarmer!  It took only 2 nights, one of which I only worked on it for like an hour.  The pattern is"Calorimetry" by Kathryn Schoendorf and I found it on Knitty.com.  I made it from about a half a skein of Lion Brand Wool Ease in Oxford Gray.  



The general reactions are either 1) Cool!  (mostly girl friends) or 2) That is not at all attractive. (boys).  I don't care though!  It keeps my ears warm.  At -27F, attractiveness is no longer an issue.  

One note, though. I didn't check my gauge before I started, and I ended up with a much bigger ear warmer than the pattern.  I don't mind though...this keeps more of my head warm!
