sewed them on this evening. After Christy's inspiring post I have decided that I MUST finish my outstanding projects. So let's be honest this how how the conversation has gone: I will not start anything until everything has been completed (headband, finish the socks, domino knitting style wristlets). I will not start another sweater until everything is done (minus the second sock). I will not start another sweater until the headband is done - I mean I can't wait until I finish the socks because those are always on the needles and I am only feeling so so about the wristlets. You see how the logic goes...who am I kidding there is really no logic.
Speaking of the headband this is something fun I started that uses a double knitting technique. If you watch Knitty Gritty I think that at some point there was an episode on this but it basically is knitting 2 things at once but the pieces are seamed together so both sides are the right side. The two colors are also reversed so, for example, on one side the main color is the pink and the brown pops and on the other side the opposite. Another benefit is that it is twice as thick which, let's be honest, is probably more practical in Minnesota's 8 degree weather than my Louis Harding "sweater" :)

Lovely sweater!
I've never seen double knitting before -- or if I did I didn't know it. I'm going to have to look into that once I get a Christmas gift completed (hat for hubby). Where did you find the pattern for the headband?
My knitting instructor also writes patterns. I will check with her to see if she knows of any widely distributed patterns!
