And…

Headbands!

Yeah, I had fun with these too this past summer.

I started with a longish head tie thingie for myself. I was getting ready to work on that scroll lace scarf for myself but I wanted to familiarize myself with the pattern so I found some extra yarn (maybe DK weight, not really sure) and just cast on enough stitches to do one repeat of it. I liked it so much that I just kept going until I used up the yarn!

And a close up of the lacy part:

Then this past august, I was working on scarf for myself that I had intended to finish and wear at a baby shower I was going to. But like two days before the shower I realized that I would never finish the scarf in time, so instead, I cast on a quick headband and started that. I got pretty far with it the first day, then I realized that I had a lot more work to do on the baby blanket that was for the expectant mother…so I stopped working on it to finish the blanket and well…I didn’t finish the headband in time either…oops. It isn’t quite finished since I was going to try and block some of the curl out of it, haven’t quite remembered to do that either, maybe I will when I finally finish that scarf and then I can just block them at the same time.

And finally, I finally finished my mother’s Christmas present from last year! I finished the scarf earlier this summer, and then this August I finally did the matching head warmer thingie. I think it turned out pretty well, though I came up with a few ways to make them look nicer in the future.

All in all, I think they all turned out well.
