This is unfortunately only on Ravelry, but it’s a ‘double knit’ headband. I’ve been wanting to try it for ages so hopefully I can get to it this month! Woo!:yay:
Maybe I should try a new knitting technique this month. I started a Fair-Isle headband at a class at SAFF* last year, and STILL haven’t finished it! :teehee:

Double knitting is another thing I haven’t tried. :think:
These small projects will be PERFECT for trying new things!
:woohoo:
I think I’m going to join. I found several patterns that I’d like to try. Just need to weed through them and figure out what one I want to do.
I’d like to do one that incorporates a new to me technique. I’m thinking lace or entelac. I’ve seen several with cables as well. I did a bib once with a basic cable on it, but that was it. If they go quick enough then I may be able to do more than one and try them all!
I still can’t believe I fell for the April Fool cap - silly silly girl. Since I can’t ‘get my feet wet’ making waterproof socks with Sandy’s yarn, I think I’ll do this headband instead: http://www.cyn.ca/knit/patterns/bamboozled/
It will be a good one for me because I’ve only done a couple of cable swatches in my knitting class, but not an actual item, and I’ve never knitted from a chart. Plus, the pattern recommends bamboo yarn which I’ve been admiring at HL but had nothing to make with it. [I]And[/I] it will be fun because I haven’t done a KAL before, and wouldn’t probably be doing this one if I hadn’t been ‘bamboozled’ by the waterproof yarn - doh!
You know yarn that just doesn’t want to be what you had in mind, no matter how many times you frog it and start over! I wanted to use some stash yarn, but finally gave up and went out this morning to buy some yarn.
I’m sure I needed an excuse to but more yarn! I actually live in a smallish rural community, so yarn is a bit hard to get. We have Walmart and a small LYS. I can’t usually get yarn from there because I have a chronic case of being broke. Darn kids prefer to eat as to me getting yarn!
I did go there today though and got a fingering weight yarn. I’m going to try to do a lace headband. I’ve never knit lace before so wish me luck!! :teehee:
Here’s the pattern: Ravelry: Molly's Headband pattern by Pam Allen I’m doing mine in a solid light blue yarn. Bristol Yarn Gallery - Buckingham. It’s really soft! I’m hoping mine will end up more narrow than the original.
You’re describing ME! I do that all the time, but I really don’t mind. It’s fun trying different things with different yarns. Kinda like being a sculptor, waiting for the rock in front of you to tell you what it wants to be.
