Hello knitters! Here’s for another version of WIP Wednesday, feel free to reply to this thread with your own Work In Progress.

What project has kept you up past your bedtime this week? As for myself I decided to start a ‘quick’ project, a headband for a friend who loves red. Pattern is the Thicket Headband by Mirella Moments. I’m loving headbands for quick & easy projects and this is a fun twist to the usual cable design.

Yarn is something my mom had in her stash, it’s was the only red-ish yarn I could find but since it was a little too thin for the pattern I decided to knit it double.

    I like to use magic loop or two circular needles for one sock. The double pointed needles make me crazy.

    You can knit house socks in worsted weight if you want to finish your first pair faster.

    I’m no sock expert. One always ends up a little bigger… :P But I think they are a fun project to make and wear.

        It’s one of those things that takes a lot of describing, so it seems complicated, bit when you’re actually doing it it’s surprisingly simple.
