As I started the yarn kept falling apart. I am not sure why it is coming apart, but since this will be felted everything should be fine.
Here I cast on and knit 2". All the "legs" are where I had to tie yarn together. Luckily felting is forgiving :-)

Here I have completed the first decrease, and will knit 3". The project will roll due to the stockinette stitch (on straight needles knit/pearl, on circular just knit).June 24, 2009 ( again )
This project is knitting faster than I thought it would, which keeps me motivated to knit more :-)
Here I have finished knitting 3" from the marker, and decreased. Notice only the edges curl now. I believe I have also passed the "yucky" stage of my yarn. There is less breakage and the yarn is not as fragile now. (yeah! no more legs ) Now to knit 8".

Eight inches knit from the knit marker. Now to decrease for the crown and it is finished!
Woo hoo, it is finished. Now I just need to felt it, or I could leave it as is :-). Ha Ha!
If I add eye holes she could go for the Dumb Donald look (from Fat Albert)

Here is the final project, felted and dried :-). I knit a tie to go with it.
Funky, but cute!
What to knit next?
