Another Dream Swatch
So I promised to update my knitting blog... and here it is! The project that took me over three months to knit....
A Second DreamSwatch!
Pattern: Dream Swatch Headband, by Wendy Bernard
Yarn: Don't laugh... Red Heart - Heart & Sole.
Needles: 2.0 mm
Started: August, 2010
Finished: December 22, 2010
What can I say? I like it. The yarn is okay. It was cheap and I was having a bad day and wanted to purchase something. I was next to a Hobby Lobby so I bought it. Impulse buy. But honestly this ball of yarn and headband got TRASHED. It was shoved into bags, purses and any other nook and cranny. Basically I carried it around for four months just hoping to knit a row or two here and there. Having said that, I think the yarn held up to the abuse. And the colors complement my hair. It's sad though, that it took me so long to complete this project but seriously I pretty much knit a row or two a week -- that's all I had time for! I did knit a pair of socks... that'll be another post. I have to stretch my little knitting out! So here it is... the triumph for last semester!
I have another pair of long socks in the pipeline. During the holiday break I made great headway on the project. But semester started a week ago and my knitting has decreased to almost none. :-( I hope to squeeze in some knitting time soon so I can show you and so I can wear these new warm knits!
