My little grandson seems to appreciate my stash, although he does tend to chew it a bit, - for testing purposes I supose.

It is quite amusing to watch him solomnly select a ball or skein of yarn to examine, feel, smell, chew, re-examine - then discard it for a piece of fabric from the scrap box and put it through the same process. Naturally I keep a close eye on his investigations, and it seems that he appreciates quality even at the tender age of 8 months.

Maybe I will have someone to leave it to after all.

I am SO jealous! The only one in my area is totally lame. I was having a knitting night at my house once a week, but it kind of died.

The overall size of the crown needs to be larger next time, but the headband came to the correct size after felting, so I was half way pleased.

That is great! Can you share the pattern? I would love to replicate that.
