It was a work colleague's birthday last week and I didn't have any time the weekend before to go shopping to get her anything, I felt so awful! But then I had a complete lightbulb moment - make something! It's no secret that I love yarn and hoard great amounts of it. I like to think that one day I'll have so much stash yarn that I could store it all in a big disused water tank and swim around in it all. Like Scrooge McDuck from Duck Tales swimming around in his money. Well, back to the story, I knew exactly which yarn I wanted to use, Debbie Bliss Cashmerino, it's definitely one of my favourite yarns! I didn't have to look too hard to find a ball of aran weight and in a gorgeous red colour!
Anyway, my lovely work colleague loves knitted headbands, so making one for her would be perfect! For inspiration, I went to my usual source, Ravelry. I stumbled upon a pattern called
Hot Mess Headband which was a really simple but gorgeous pattern; 1x1 rib with a cable in the centre. Took me all of two evenings to complete, so super quick!
Knitting skills save the day! And thankfully, my work colleague loved it :D
