Button Headband - from the top down, for lindsey
Thoughts, projects, and a few yarns from a self taught knitting obsessive and growing crochet enthusiast. (i.e. my escape from the cubical to my happy place)

Finished Projects:
Button Headband -
this is just like my first one… for the same friend who ordered the adorable booties :) I’m almost done with her other item too - a lacy girl scarf!
Projects Galore!
Things to do:
- Finish the Clemson bag, number 2
- Make another slouchy beret, by request
- Finish the flower belt, make an adorable necklace, tiered necklace, and button headband for another request
- Finish testing/making a new scarf pattern for the etsy shop - it is a Zig Zag Lace Scarf
- Make myself ‘the other’ leg warmer (and no it will not have buttons for eyes)
EEEEEEEEEEEk :) Pardon me while I have a little freak out- guess I know what I’ll be doing this weekend!!!
Catch up
14+ hours in the car this weekend= LOTS to blog about this week.
I was able to finish up:
- The button headband… super cute
- A green loopy scarf… trendy and will be nice in the fall
- A new design pattern, which was a very cool process… I followed the directions on knitty that I posted this weekend. I can’t wait to show my charts and iterations of this diamond pattern - I had no idea I could do this kind of thing!
I also got started on another cream colored scarf with lace - I have no clue what or who it is for, but hey it kept me occupied.
Hope ya’ll had a good weekend… I’m going to be playing catch up on here, but know that there will be lots of upcoming material :)
Oh crap
I’m gonna be in the car 14 hours this weekend…. AND the project I’d planned to work on… I could not find the wool for yesterday :( and we are leaving now :( boo hiss. (Sorry Julie, your purse is getting pushed back…again… promise it will be done before you need it this fall)
Needless to say, going to finish up the button headband, try a new loopy scarf pattern with some stash yarn - and work on designing my own stuff. Hopefully it will turn out well…. but I’m a little miffed! I’ve que’d some things for you, but be back Sunday! Will the summer weddings ever end?
Done!
Finished the Raglan Cardigan last night :) It now has super cute buttons on it as well! I will do my best to take pics and post them later today. I’ll be the first to admit that it is not perfect… however, for my first attempt ever at a sweater - I think it is pretty darn cute!
Also, started another headband ‘template’ on the train this am… I’m using up some of my stash/ left-over yarn and it will be a knit/crochet combo version! At this point it will have a magenta knitted base band with crochet ‘buttons’ in various colors as the accent. Can’t wait to see how it turns out!
Happy Tuesday people! It is my Thursday..mwhaha… (off of work Thurs./Fri.) so that is even more to celebrate!
