Gotta Knit!: Color of the Day is Blue

as in that depth of blue you find in the Caribbean when you're at the beach. Blue work tee shirt, pale blue walls and popping blue wicked headband from Megan of Treats for Breathing. She whipped her's up in no time and showed it off at a knitting night and many of us begged her for the recipe. Um, mean pattern. Do check out her handspun yarn at Megan's Esty shop . I'm not the only one that is stunned by the quality of this start up spinner. I am also friends with the woman who taught Megan to spin and her comment was "I've got nothing left to teach her. She is a natural." Let me tell ya that is saying a lot because Mrs HockeyMom is one Mac Daddy spinner and awesome teacher. In all seriousness ya'll, if you saw the colors she blends together and the texture your mouth would be dropping like mine each friggin time I see more of her yarn. We, in our small knitting group, are beginning to fight over it. Some unnamed hussy's (love ya!!!) even snatch it up as soon as Megan puts it up in her shop. Plus, hands down, Megan has the absolute best label I've ever seen for any yarn company.

Enough with the talents of others and back to my darling headband. I used per Megan's suggestion the Louet Euroflax 100% linen (machine washable and dryable GASP) in bulky/chunky weight in Blue Fescue (heathers line). Um, not sure just how much I used but there are 150 yards and I maybe used only a 3rd of the hank which is probably why Megan laughed at me when I purchased the Louet Euroflax just for this project. Could have easily knit it up in a night but had started the project out with my knitting buddies of bad influence so it took two nights.

Not sure exactly of the pattern, maybe seed stitch? I just merrily followed along without giving it a thought once. Ah, the Joy of Knitting, Eh?
