A woman I used to know made earbands of very heavy wool yarn, knitted around the head in one-on-one ribbing. I think the graft was at center back.
The ribbing was used to make the band thick, not for elasticity. The band narrowed sharply forward of the ears, which made it fit under a bicycle helmet nicely -- it blocked wind from entering the helmet, but didn't push my glasses off. Nowadays I re-size the helmet and wear a balaclava under it. -- Joy Beeson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.earthlink.net/~joybeeson/ http://home.earthlink.net/~beeson_n3f/ http://home.earthlink.net/~beeson_n3f/WEB/WEB.HTM west of Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A.
