So I went on a little hatmaking binge and made some hats for the boys. The black and white one is actually made from Lion Brand Wool-Ease, and will go in the stack for Iraq. The blue and the gold ones are Ryan's and the camo one is Kyle's. It matches his school backpack...The wool-ease crochets up nice and soft, and I think will make a nice hat that has the wicking
and warmth properties of wool, and the washability of acrylic because of the 80/20 blend. Just enough wool. As I stood in Michael's and looked at yarn, I just had to restrain myself from buying oodles of it to make yet another afghan. There were some really nice colors and the yarn is nice and soft.I also ripped out my scarf and re-crocheted it a little longer. I was pleased with the smaller amount of yarn I had left, and decided to make a little flower to pin on the scarf. I had just enough yarn to make this 6-petaled flower, that I think adds just a nice little touch. I have a great red yarn for Alyx, that I will make this scarf and a hat, and should have enough left to make a few flowers to scatter on her hat and scarf. I like the way the flower made up and it was easy...just the right touch for a hat with a shell border.

You are so right (as always but I won't let that out) that Woolease is the best.yarn.ever. I love it's washability, it doesn't pill like other blends do and it comes in tons of colors! Plus, it's super cheap.
And, the flower on the scarf is so cute. I am glad you reworked it to use up all of that luscious yarn. It makes me want to crochet another. I don't need it, really.
