The Knitting Protegé & Tennessee Valley Weather

Welcome to the Tennnessee Valley, Y'all, where snow is as scarce as frog teeth. We were all set for wintry weather last week, hoping for even a flake of illusive snow but, alas, we're now in the middle of a warming trend. Ah well, the sunsets are beautiful here.Our newest knitter, A is 8 years old. Big sister T has been knitting for about 2 years.
The scarf below was knit with Yarn Bee Frosting in Barely Iced Pink.
This yarn is buttery soft & warm.Another Fancy Fur Scarf that I was making to wear with my coat, but I don't think it's me at all. Get off my coat, you animal!
Whiles I should be knitting on the many projects I've started, here I'm charting a new pattern. It's not finished or blocked but any guesses?... 'cause if you can't tell what it is then I won't be posting the pattern.
We're snow-needy, send us some snow, Y'all!
Have a great weekend, Y'all and knitlikeyoumeanit!

The Young Knitter, Headband Pattern

What do young knitters do before breakfast? My granddaughter happily knitting a another headband (pattern below) with Sugar n Cream yarn called Summer Splash. I think she has knitting fever; she says this kind of fever is fun. :))
T's Headband Pattern
Materials: Size 7 needles
Very small ball worsted weight cotton yarn such as Peaches & Creme will make several headbands.
Cast on 8 stitches (or more for a wider band)
Row 1 and all rows: Knit
Keep knitting until the headband fits around your head snugly.
Bind off the stitches and sew together with a darning needle.
