My, that's creative!

I'm going skiing in Les Arcs, France, next week, so I bought some new winter clothes. My favorite piece of kit is my new hat...It's a little too small (because my head is the size of a watermelon), so I decided to knit an earwarmer/headband to fit underneath. One of my friends gave me the most amazing yarn for Christmas--- it's made out of bamboo, is incredibly soft, and turned out to be the perfect color for my new project.

Problem was, I didn't have the right size needles for this new project. Almost all of my knitting supplies are back in Massachusetts. I came up with a creative solution, though.

CHOPSTICKS!

That's right, I'm knitting with chopsticks. I think that they work quite well.

Here's the work in progress...

Cable patterns are awesome because they look really difficult but are actually quite easy to knit up.
