Four more

I managed to make four more twisted headbands today.

All four are made with I Love This Yarn from Hobby Lobby. This color is Be Still.

This one is called Amber Honey. I'm not sure how the blues fit in with Amber Honey, but I like the way this one looks!

Rebuilding

My supply of twisted headbands was getting ridiculously low, so I'm glad I haven't sold any in a few days. It's given me a chance to rebuild my supply!

This is another pretty color combination with a name that I think is ridiculous... The Struggle is Teal. I know that coming up with names can be difficult, but there must be a better name!

Forest is a really popular color with the high school girls. I prefer the multi-colored headbands, but I do see the appeal. 

Unless I get called in to sub, I have the day off tomorrow. Mom and I might go looking for some more Ivory Tweed. It's such a pretty yarn, and it works well with a cabled headband that Mom enjoys making. We may even go out to lunch!

Instant Classic

 

I don't know how they came up for the name for this color combination, Instant Classic. I like the colors, but I think the name is terrible!

Aggravation

I've been having trouble posting comments on some blogs for a few weeks now. I'll start typing a comment and the comment box will disappear. What's really aggravating is that I can't get back in to the blog post to try again.

I am reading your blog posts, dear tatting friends!

Leftover yarn

 

With all the twisted headbands I've been making, I'm starting to accumulate a good stash of leftovers. Yesterday I was asked if I could make Chapstick holders. I'd never made them before, but I figured it was worth a try. They work up pretty quickly, and the high school kids seem pretty excited about them.

Brighton Road is one of the color combos I really like. I wasn't going to buy any more yarn, but I just couldn't resist !

So much alike!

I worked with two colors of I Love This Yarn today that are so much alike.

Cypress Landing is one of the prettiest colors I've used so far.

I thought Floating Along looked similar, and I was right! I love them both.

Fund raiser update... I have now raised almost $700 for the drama club by selling these headbands. Yippee!

Losing track

By not posting since Thursday, I've lost track of what I've done! Needless to say, there's been a whole lot of cranking going on.

My sister Janet arrived Friday afternoon. She helped Mom and me untangle some yarn, so on Saturday I helped her in the yard. Fair is fair!

Mom is still working on her hat project on the Sentro 48.

Mom did some experimenting with fingering weight acrylic on the Sentro 48, and made this beautiful cowl for my sister Janet. We all liked it so much, that Mom has starting taking orders from granddaughters.

Mom had this beautiful yarn that just did not work well in the machine, but she was able to hand knit this gorgeous cable headband for Janet. I'm next in line!

I can't remember the order in which these were made, and I may have even posted some of the pics before.  This is Lion Brand Mandala Ombre, Joy.

I have no idea what this one is! Let's just call it pretty. I just found the tag! It's called Mint Tea.

This is I Love This Yarn, Moody Mosaic.

This is I Love This Yarn, Strawberry Jam.

My order of Dakota (I Love This Yarn from Hobby Lobby) arrived yesterday. One headband is for daughter Andrea, and the other is for a former student. Luckily, I ordered several skeins of this. This is probably the most popular color I've made, and I do plan to make more!
