In the Wild

Hi Knitters,
I have to share the photos my son's girlfriend, Miss Molly, sent to show me her finished Another Flower Headband in action. It's fun to see one of your designs in the wild! My son took these photos of her with his phone.

She was so cute when I put this pattern up for purchase. She immediately wanted to make one for herself. Her brother and my other son are on the same high school swim team so I met her at a swim meet with the pattern, yarn and needles for the headband. That's still the left over yarn from my Owls cardigan. 

She started knitting right away at the meet. By the end of the week she had finished the entire thing. I helped her stitch the flower on the side and gave it a good wash and blocking. Since she's down on campus walking around for much of the day I stitched in a stretchy store-bought headband on the inside to keep her ears extra warm.

Miss Molly has told me that she has gotten lots and lots of compliments on her new handknit headband. I love it that she loves it so much and that she made it! She is a determined young knitter and when she wants to make something, she just does it. That's such a good personality trait to have.

Plus, isn't she just cute? I love the old campus buildings in the background, too.

I'm working on a new design to help use up your left over sock yarn (of which I have tons)! It's pretty darn cute. More on that one later.
