I've been keeping myself busy lately, what with the constant rain. I finished the tank top (or vest, whichever you prefer) I was working on. Since it is winter I popped it on over a shirt, so I wouldn't freeze!I think it actually looks better over a shirt.
FYI my almost-5-year-old took this picture!
After I finished the top, I went a little head band crazy Here are a few things I've been working on:
 | |
| cable head band |

| cable head band in blue |
I knit the pink and blue bands flat and seamed them together, but I am going to have a think about knitting them in the round because the seam bothers me a little bit. It doesn't bother the girls at all though, and that's the main thing.
After I made the cable hair bands, I thought I would try a flower one. I made the flower out of i-cord and the band is just moss stitch knit in the round. Next time I really need to switch to a bigger needle when casting off, because I feel it was too tight. Again, the girls didn't seem to mind, but since I have to make another one (the joy of twins!) I'll see if I can't do better.

LOVE the knitted headbands. They are so sassy! I'm thinking of making a couple for my nieces for Easter...
ReplyDeleteHappy Fiber Arts Friday!
The headbands are wonderful. The flower detail is charming with its button centre! I too have plans to knit a headband someday. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThe headbands look great! I agree your vest/tank looks good over a shirt, true 4 season wear now.
ReplyDeleteI love the little flower! Must try....
ReplyDeleteThat vest is adorable and I think will look great in summer too, without the shirt!

ReplyDeleteAnd....ummmm...what's with the green grass in your photos?? I'm jealous!
The head bands are great and I love the vest.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the seam for the cable. I have the same issue with the one (and only so far) that I have made. Not sure how it would be knit in the round... would love to know how it works out.
Love the the last one with the flower the most!! Super cute. My girls are going to be bagging me to make this for them :)
ReplyDeleteNice job on the vest. It looks great on you. I most especially love the headband with the flower...so feminine. Happy FAF!
