Just in the St Nick of Time

For Christmas I asked daughter-who-knits for a cheery hat that is warm, soft, and will shield my eyes and cover my ears from high winds that swirl up snow devils.  

Look what I got on Christmas day.

...and the night after Christmas we had the beginning of our first Nor'easter with typical cold, high wind, snow drifts, etc. and by the evening of the 27th we had over 20" of snow.  In the eye of the storm my hat was perfect! Perfect! and I love it! 

The yarn used is Sirdar's Click/Chunky with Wool and the pattern is the Snowboarder Hat that Rocks.  

...Happy Trails...
