Girlie crochet headbands

These headbands are so easy to make and very comfortable to wear! So far I've made 3 different sizes and in various colours and I can say by now I'm addicted! I've only used 8 ply cotton yarns that I bought from Lincraft at $3 a ball! I'm now slowly running out and may have to start experimenting with acrylic . Will see how I go with this!
The pattern is called Granny Stripe Headband and I got it from Tangled Happy! The pattern is free and is a great stash buster. Give it a try and inject some colours in your day!

Star Afghan - the continuation

I've been meaning to make this afghan bigger but couldn't find any matching yarn for it until Jennifer kindly gave her bendigo yarn to me, thanks Jennifer ! It's coming along slowly and I already like the looks of it! This is going to be a huge blanket! All the better to cosy up with! With that enjoy your weekend!

Neon Trees - 1983

Okay I've just finished a spin class this morning - so my adrenaline is telling me that I really love this song! Just makes me wanna spin faster! When I first heard it I thought the song was called 1993!

On another note , back in 1999, I got married to my hubby! So it was my 13th wedding anniversary yesterday I cannot believe how fast the time has flown , it certainly didn't feel like 13 years!
We gave each other a pair of matching 'pegasus air' runners, with the hope that we will use it for our daily /not so daily jog/run/walk. I find what works for me is to exercise daily if you can, but I need some variation , so I mix it with swimming , RPM or pump. So here's to fitness, health and a happy marriage!

Crochet Headband

I was inspired by Kelle's headband whilst I was reading her blog one day. She has the most beautiful photos of her girls and this photo in particular caught my eye. The headband she is wearing, is referred to as a crochet headband which she got from here. Now try as I might, that does not resemble anything like a crochet stitch to me, if anything, it is definitely a knitted headband and technically speaking it's a rib stitch. Anyway, I was on a mission to find the pattern that is similar to that, because I just had to have one right now...hmmm doesn't sound like me ..not! The result is as expected..zilch, in the end I had to resort to a knitted version from Ravelry.
This is how it turned out:


The verdict is a good one - very comfortable to wear and makes a nice head gear! I think I'm going to make another one..but wait, I think I spied a crochet dress with a fabric skirt that looks really cute for girls from the same blog arghhhh , must.crochet.now!!!

No man is an island ...so they say

But apparently I am one!!! At least that is what my recent live traffic feed seems to indicate, I have a country and a flag!!!
