Okay! One of these overhyped weather events finally paid off. The blizzzzzard of 201111111 did it's job and dumped a mountain of snow all over us. The kids are in heaven! And I'd have really enjoyed our cozy shut-in snow day yesterday if it wasn't for the 5 hours of shoveling we did yesterday. Today we have another snow day to contemplate nature but of course it's -10000000 degrees so no playing in the snow.
They played it up yesterday though
Lovely! Can’t wait to look at those books myself! Thanks for the tip. 🙂
I can’t help but think there’s a tension different when crocheting as I find the same thing happening with my yarn when I engage in some hooking – it turns into a mess of intertwined strings that I seem to want to pull apart. Knitting, I don’t have this trouble. It could also be that I’ve only been crocheting for a month now and have been knitting for three years… who knows.
I thought the blizzard was fantastic! Snow is awesome. It looks to me like you were doing thread crochet with is a little bit trickier than regular crochet because of the tiny, more pointy hooks. What you made looks great, so persevere! Crochet borders are about the prettiest thing ever.
Cute headband! Maybe you could try a bigger size hook to open up your stitches a bit. Also, I have trouble with certain types of yarn slitting but not others. Keep trying… it’s loads of fun!
P.S. I’ll teach you crochet if you teach me knitting. 🙂
Love your headband! Glad to hear about the difference in separating yarn in crochet and knitting; gives me hope for when I someday attempt knitting.
oh my! the snow…how fun.
The headband is darling, totally vintage and fresh looking!
Sweet as can be!
Sweet headband! I’m also a knitter who sometimes crochets and the trouble for me is that I am constantly losing my place in crochet patterns. Look away for a moment and I’m doomed!
Well the headband is just adorable anyway, difficult or not!
I definitely wanted a snow day yesterday (my husband had one). In the Boston area, it turned to rain just early enough to make the commute truly more exciting than anyone needed. Most of us were soaked all the way through!
Oh, I like it with just the scallops. Very dainty and cute!
Can’t say that I love your snow…despise it, actually, but THAT HEADBAND!!!! Cutest darned thing I’ve seen all week!
I love the headband! I would like to see it on a head!
Pretty headband! When I learnt to crochet I used Naturally Harmony yarn which is lightly felted to start with. Taking away that splitty yarn problem made it easier to just concentrate on learning to crochet – which was hard enough on its own.
When I got married I moved to San Diego because that’ where my husband is from. To be honest, I REALLY miss the seasons and the SNOW! It’s so beautiful.
Love the headband. It’s gorgeous.
Okay that makes our five inches look pretty pitiful… ;o)
They are so cute. I love playing on snow too.
This is really cute. Is it adult size or Phoebe size?
adult, for me 🙂
love that headband! i need to find a pattern now 🙂
