I've made good progress on my friend's headband that I blacked out and bought yarn for a few days ago. It currently measures about 12 inches, so I'm more than halfway! I initially started with a different pattern, but the pattern combined with all the color changes made for something that looked like it had been puked on. I think this one looks better, though I'm still not loving all the color changes (my friend will though). I think I'll have enough left for fingerless mitts. I wonder if I'll like the color changes better when knit in the round...
This is the same pattern that inspired the Empress Mum's Ski Bunny Headband, except it's knit as written. Using the wonder that is the internet, I'm going to learn how to graft the edges together instead of sewing them.
This yarn (Lorna's Laces Honor in Pocket Square) is delightful to work with. It really is very "pretty string" even though I wish the orange would go away (this is really my biggest complaint with this yarn. I just don't like orange). It's 70% baby alpaca and 30% silk and it glides softly through the fingers. I may have to go back to the yarn store and see if they have other color palates that I could use for something for myself.
Until next time,
Jessica, Empress of the Universe
