Knitted Headband

I knitted this headband for my friend Christina. Happy birthday! Doesn’t she look great? I used this pattern from Martha Stewart Living. There are garter-stitch and cable versions. I stuck with garter stitch, but I’d like to try the cable version once I get my courage up. The pattern gives directions for making I-cords for the headband’s ties, but I like visual directions when possible, so I went here for help.

I love the Chloe sweater from Never Not Knitting. I have a little goddaughter with a birthday in March. If I got started now, I just might finish this in time. I’ve never done buttons before, but I’m sure Knitting Help will have a video to walk me through the process.

• Day 5 of the 100 Push-Ups Challenge. It’s not too late to join in.
• Are you in an organizing frame of mind? Take a look at this fantastic project board from Marta Writes. I have an empty bulletin board just waiting to be filled.
• Doesn’t this peanut butter pie look delicious? I think we’ll be having it for dessert this weekend.

(Update: We made the peanut butter pie and it was so good. Michelle at One Ordinary Day said it was rich and she wasn’t kidding. Definitely a keeper.)
