"Quant - ify"




I was having a hard time finding a belated birthday gift for two very special people; my bff and my lovely sister.  I found this pretty "Quant" pattern on knitty.com.  Because both recipients had long hair, I felt this gift would be perfect.  Neither like wearing hats because of the dreaded "hat hair."  My sister is also an avid hiker and I thought this would come in handy to keep her ears warm.  The entrelac pattern is easy to learn if you go slow and pay attention, so don't be intimidated by it.  I used Lion Brand's Amazing yarn which is an "under-spun" yarn, giving the project a nice soft texture.

Both loved their presents and below if my beautiful sister modeling hers.
