I do a lot of exercising outside. I have found that the face-covering balaclavas are the most horrid thing you can wear when out and about in cold weather. Rebreathing hot workout breath is disgusting. Also disgusting is having rebreathed workout breath fogging up your glasses. So I needed something with an open face. Thus was born my version of the helmet liner.
It's made out of Lion Brand Fishermen's Wool, which I love. I'm just getting back into knitting, so I'm not a yarn snob. Yet. Judging from the difficult time I had picking out yarn at JoAnn's today, I'll be a yarn snob pretty soon.
So trying this on, it's super duper super warm and cozy. It's a bit big for my head, but it was sized for men. I can deal with lumpy as long as it's warm!
It was a pretty easy pattern to do considering I haven't jumped into too many knitting endeavors before. It's available for free on the Lion Brand website, but I can't link it to you because it will just send you to a sign-in page. You can always find my knitting projects on Ravelry (ninseam).
Did I mention this is really warm?
Also: I am blessed with a cat who likes to snooze in my lap whilst I knit and does not care to play with yarn.
I win.
Finished just in time for Black Belt winter camp next weekend! I am gonna need it!
Signing off for now,
Nin
