I present the entrelac head wrap, also known as Quant. The yarn is something I picked up (for free!) at the first ever Winterthur S&B. It's made of soy. I love the colors, but I think I may have a slight soy allergy. I felt kind of weird every time I worked on this project. I have yet to wear it in the great outdoors, so can't make any comments on its actual utility. Perhaps tomorrow I will sport it while I journey to Philadelphia. 
And the really exciting thing: 
Interestingly, another object made of completely free (to me) yarn. The green is the yarn I received from Jen for my birthday last year. Her own homespun, made of...? Do you recall, Jen? I sure don't. It was great to knit with! It did make me a little nostalgic though. I kept thinking of all the times we used to knit at your house back in Bmore. The grey is from Knitpicks. One time, I ordered some yarn and needles from them and they sent me two of everything, even though I only paid for one. And they let me keep the extra stuff! I even called and tried to send it back to them. So thank you Jen and Knitpicks for providing me with the materials to create this awesomely warm cowel that will keep me comfortable in the library. I'm looking forward to next semester so that I can use it...

Great work Abby. I think both will prove to be very useful and you look great in them.
Sorry to be MIA so long! It's bad when your husband even notices you haven't been on the blog. The yarn was spun from a tencel/wool blend I believe. I don't remember the percentages. Looking back at my spinning at that time, I'm shocked it was even knitable!! Did you hold it together with the Knitpicks or is it alternating. I can't quite tell from the photo. You do really look great in it and the Quant too. Hope the soy allergy turns out to be a myth. Soy yarn is very nice!!
