Romney Fleece To Ponytail Hat
As a spinner, there are few things more satisfying than seeing something you've made grow into something beautiful in the hands of another creative person! The first kudos goes to my younger sister who got the skein of Romney Tweed - and a fairly big box of other handspun and "goodies" in exchange for a certain Kamsack Brute wheel. 
She also got a book called "101 Hats to Knit and Crochet" and in record time cast on and finished this Ponytail Hat with the Romney Tweed!

The pink bits are remnants from the Seed Stitch Afghan I posted about earlier - what a great color combination! I absolutely LOVE this hat! Well done! You've made my yarn look awesome!
She also cast on a pair of fingerless mitts from a pattern I sent her. Quite a lot of things to tackle for a "beginner" but as I told her, these are exactly the kind of projects you should knit to learn new techniques, like decreases, increases, bind off and cast on for the thumb hole etc...

She did these in the reverse colors as the hat. Even though she's not quite done I think they're coming along great! It gives me fresh enthusiasm to get at my UFO pile! Ha! Nice going Sis! Cheers all!
I love this hat too! The blue color is amazing. I like the contrast color she used with it, AND I love the pattern! I usually have a pony tail and would love to make one. I used my cowl as hat last night, which worked too, but the hole is just a bit too big. The fingerless mittens will be another great knit of your very talented sister!

Looks like you have created a monster! Isn't that the best praise though when the student excels! Terrific job little sis's!

It's a great hat and the mitts look fine in the reverse colors. Great job!
It's also great having a beginning knitter who is not afraid to learn the next technique.
