Long Time No See!

I had all of these great posts planned but coming back to school has seriously kicked my butt. I feel like all of the sudden classes are actually hard and I have piles of homework I have to do. College kills my crafting mojo. On top of that I am posting my first ever post from my new laptop, the old one met it's untimely fate at the hands of some rogue nail polish remover. I can't make any promises about how soon my next post will happen, but I have so much to show you guys so I hope it happens soon.

On that note I would like to introduce you to my newest addiction... headbands.

And there are actually two more where that came from, plus a random rainbow flower. I don't know why but all of the sudden I just can't stop knitting them. Which is bad seeming as how Tatum has yet to get her Christmas present, but I did knit her that cream headband as an apology that it was taking so long.


I think it has to be the speed at which I can knit them, my last few projects have been challenging and at times slow going. I just love how fast I can whip out a head band and a flower! I hope everything is going well with all of you guys! Have a great week.

First FO Of The Year

With the weather edging on bitterly cold here in Minnesota I decided to knit myself something warm and cozy! It is just a simple garter stitch headband with an added flower.

 I love quick little projects like this that make me feel like I am really getting something done! I knit the headband and flower all while watching Thor for the first time on netflix! (Seriously why did I wait so long to see that movie? Thor shirtless? Perfection.)

It was actually knit from my hand dyed, hand spun yarn! This is actually my first project knit from any of my hand spun. Much like watching floor I have no idea why I waited so long to knit with my own yarn. It is crazy to think that almost every step of the way I was working with the fiber for this headband. I have a ton of odds and ends of hand spun that may end up being made into these headbands. Check out my Ravelry page for more details on the headband and the pattern I used for the flower.
