The headband that became a cowl
Nov 23rd, 2008 by jennifer
What I wanted was a headband. So I graphed out some llamas and grabbed some Cascade 220 and knit away. I lined my work with coordinating Tahki Cotton Classic. The only problem is that the piece measures 4.74″ top to bottom. The Nagano headband measures 3″ top to bottom. The extra height transformed my headband into a cowl. It’s not itchy though.
I’m going to reknit this, omitting the borders and reversing it so the heart is between the llamas heads rather than appearing to hover between their posteriors.
I’ve been listening to The Girl With The Dragon Tatoo and I can’t stop. I listened while I knit. I listened while I shopped for Thanksgiving. I’m only through the first half of the book, but I’m completely immersed in the story. The narrator is Simon Vance who narrated all of the James Bond books by Ian Flemming. Mark and I listened to those last year while sitting in front of the fire in the library at night. Just hearing Simon Vance’s voice puts me in a good mood.
That’s really cute, although I agree that you should move the llama heart. Hah… Is that double knit?
I kind of like their llama love farts!! I love the edging you picked out too!
