I figure that August/September is a good time to start knitting for winter - because it would suck being stuck in a snowstorm w/o anything hand knit to cozy in to! I found some very soft Bernat yarn that's both thick and flecked with different sorts of camoflauge - so I started with this hat-scarf-wrist warmer set. It's a bit big on me, but I do have smaller-than-average hands and the hat can have a turn-up brim. I stitched the whole thing in a thick-&-thin ribbing (K1, P1, K2, P1) which has become my favourite ribbing style to knit. I'll have a few more camoflauge knits made up to put up on etsy (hopefully) in time for December holidays - if not, then at least for the new year! (I still have a bunch of handknits that I want to get rid of first before posting any new stuff, so we'll just see how that goes....)
