Ambler Mountain Iceline Beanie (For Men and Women)

The first day I wore my new wool hat I received several compliments. The initial one was in the parking lot at school where I work. The woman loved the bright color. (I wear a charcoal grey wool coat so the fushia hat highlighted my attire.) That afternoon, when I parked at a neighborhood co-op, I received my second compliment from someone I know. Later at the checkout counter another woman said: "Is your hat warm? Is it all wool? . . . Can I feel it?" Of course I took it off and handed it to her. She was surprised to see the soft earband. I told her: "It's a terrific hat for the money. It brightens my spirit--I love it!"
