Helmets and ear flaps

Purple Puff Earflaps and Green Puff Stitch Helmet

I started experimenting this week with making helmet hats and a hats with ear flaps. I made two on Tuesday night, one with the purple Brushed Suri and the other with a mixed green yarn. I'm thinking of making a few more this weekend. I was at the Yarn Company yesterday and noticed that they had gotten in a shipment of more colors of Brushed Suri Alpaca of which I am now apparently addicted. I think I need a yarn budget. These yarns are not cheap but I cannot help myself. I need at least three or for more skeins. I just love working with it so much. Like I've said, Brushed Suri is just like a cloud spun into string. It's unbelievably light and soft and so easy to work with.
