New Design!! Bright Day Headband

Well I have a new design ready! As I did last time it's a free pattern. It took me only about an hour or so to make the finished product. It took me a day to design it. So here it is... the Bright Day Headband!

Bright Day Headband:

Supplies:
  • size J hook (or hook that fits yarn type, if using something other than bulky)
  • bulky yarn (I used some leftover Loops and Thread Charisma in Sunny Day) or yarn of your choice
  • yarn needle (to weave ends and sew)
Pattern:

Row 1: Ch 3, sc in 2nd st from hook, sc to end (2 stitches)
Row 2: Ch1, sc in each stitch; Repeat until about 4 inches long
Row 3: Ch 1, 2 sc in each stitch (4 stitches)
Row 4: Ch 1, sc in each stitch; Repeat one more time
Row 5: Ch 1, sc, 2 sc in next 2 st, sc in last st (6 stitches)
Row 6: Ch 1, sc in each stitch; Repeat one more time
Row 7: Ch 1, sc, 2 sc in next 4 st, sc in last st (10 stitches)
Row 8: Ch 1, sc in each stitch; Repeat until you reached desired length (I did 9 inches. Easiest thing is measure the top of the head from the top of the right ear to the top of the left and use that measurement)
Row 9: Ch 1, sc, dec sc in next 8 st, sc in last st (6 stitches)
Row 10: Ch 1, sc in each stitch; Repeat one more time
Row 11: Ch 1, sc, dec sc in next 4 st, sc in last st (4 stitches)
Row 12: Ch 1, sc in each stitch; Repeat one more time
Row 13: Ch 1, dec sc 2 times (2 stitches)
Row 14: Ch1, sc in each stitch; Repeat until about 2 inches long. Finish and leave a tail long enough to sew the ends together and weave any loose ends.

Well Here We Are Again...

Sorry for not posting in a while...I've been busy... I know that this is no excuse, but it's true! Busy seeing shows, crafting, working... More woorking than anything! So I figured that I would post something so the blog appears to be slightly active... So on to some details of what I've been up to...

1.) I got to see Peek yet again on Cinco de Mayo at the Brickyard. That was a really good show! I even got a request in! And of course I got to hang out with some of the band when they were on break!

2.) I'm gearing up for my biggest crafting period... the summer. I know that it sounds weird but I start on holiday gifts (or at least the planning thereof) this time of year. Well, at least try to...

3.) Last Friday I got to see Fly By Radio at the Soul Kitchen. That was such a great show! I even have a drink coozie to show for it. That and a new nickname of Miley. Yes as in Miley Cyrus a.k.a.: Hannah Montana.

4.) Last but certainly not least, I am getting ready to design a new pattern. I'm aiming for a headband this time! Wish me luck! Here is the picture of the yarn:

Well that's all for now! I will hopefully update a little sooner than this time! Hopefully I will have a pattern ready to post!
