Headband Knit

Ok so I am still working my way back to health today, but felt like I needed to create...I had enough energy to do something, but not anything too strenuous, so I sat down with an episode of Northern Exposure and knitted up a little headband with pure alpaca wool, size 5 metal needles (speedy).  I knitted 7 stiches for as long as I needed for my head and then sewed the ends together.  Then I wrapped some extra yarn 6 times around the stiched area to create a sort of art-deco affect.  It fits really nice and although I'll probably feel the itch from the wool on my ears it serves as a good prototype for any future headbands I could make from less irritating yarn.  I like wearing this comfyfit style headband, it means my hair which has a mind of it's own can be it self!  I'm not top into flips and flops and poofy flowers, but you could turn a basic knit into quite a creation - let your imagination bring forth some ideas....  I'd love to see photos of your own headband knits!

One of thr funnest easiest and best looking knit projects I've made - cheered me right up!
