My Little Headband….

By -

 The sled hill nearby is somewhat obstructed by the playground equipment.  You can see a line of parents at the bottom of the hill. 
I had to stop by there Saturday to see all the kids having fun sledding down the hill.   Ouch, I can still feel the sting of that spray of snow in my face.  Still, we had fun as youngsters sledding didn't we?  The near crashes were exciting and the squeals were 
part of the fun. 
Need a headband?  
Cast on 30 stitches in sock yarn, on size 3 needles 
Knit in garter stitch for 15 inches. 
Don't bind off the stitches. 
Instead, take a needle and pass it through the 
stitches pulling taught to bunch. 
Run a similar line on the cast on edge of stitches and pull taught. 

Bring the two scrunched edges together.  
Crochet a small band and link the two ends inside the band.
Call me Aunt Jemima, but it is warm and snuggly. 
Now I want some sourdough flapjacks with syrup….

I loved sledding as a kid and tobogganing as a younger adult. Now, I prefer to stay inside and watch the bobsled and luge competition on TV.

Love the headband - colorful and comfy, too.

I grew up in California - never had the dubious pleasure of snow...

Love the headband! I want one!

I must be turning into an old fuddy duddy because I usually drag the sled out for a run or two down the driveway whenever it snows but I haven't even dug them out of the shed this year. Shame on me. I hope I get another chance this year.
Love the headband. Now you've got me wanting pancakes....

Your headband is so cute! I think I need to make one. The last time I went sledding I was 8 months pregnant with our oldest daughter. I was wearing a full-length fur coat and fur hat. I looked like a big bear on a little red sled.

The snow-covered hill in the background looks like a kid's paradise on a winter's day! I remember well riding a sled down a hill...over and over. Yahoo!

The headband is very cute...and just the ticket for protecting those ears. Nice way to use up scraps too. Thanks for the directions!

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's their boy.  Insufficient inf

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I have been knitting, but not making things.  6. MY gardens are growing.  I have 3 main areas I
