Here is the tam again. You can see the bill in this pic, & the ends of the scarf. I had stuffed the hat to show how big it was. This set is still one of the things I'm most proud of having made.
close up on the hat, trying to show the details around the bill.

Here is an ear warmer headband I made. It is made from a fawn/gray acrylic yarn blend with gold tinsel woven through it, & button details.
Ear warmer again & around my neck you can see the matching skinny scarf.
Ear warmer & scafr not on me. They were both made from one ball of yarn, so the dramatic color change where the buttons are on the headband confuzzles me. But you see similar areas in the scarf, they just don't stand out as much.
