It's all about the headbands...

...this week's knitting, that is! Let me go back to the start. Well, the very start was last year with The Answer headband which was my solution to needing something to warm my ears but not being a keen wearer of hats.
The start of this next headband phase was last weekend, when I saw a stranded colourwork pattern in a stitch dictionary and thought it would look good in two colours of Wollmeise yarn from my stash (Lapis lazuli and Skarabaus, if you're interested!). I worked up a swatch and it did work, and also called to me that it wanted to be a headband.
Never being one to refuse my yarn its wish, I worked up this headband during a knitting meet.

On the train home from the meet, an idea for a second headband popped into my head and as soon as I reached home I dived into the stash for the right yarn to bring it to life. By the end of the evening, Two Rugby Games was sitting on the sofa beside Bubbles headband.

By this point I was really on a roll! The following day I had a cable headband knitted up (well, part knitted, frogged, part knitted again). The day after that I had a felted headband made and the idea for an eBook of a collection of seven headbands, one for each day of the week. The fifth headband is already made. The sixth one is calling out to be knitted. The seventh one is still not fully decided upon but will be joining its friends in the book, A Week Of Warm Ears, just as soon as it tells me what it wants to be.

If nothing else, this winter I have absolutely no excuse for having chilly ears!
