• Pattern inspiration (from book, see below)
• the chart/diagram I drew up to figure out the seaming.

This is not the 33rd headband I’ve made! I’m just using panel #33 cable from Melissa Leapman’s Cables Untangled book that has a marvelous cable dictionary with great pictures in the back.

good practice for:
-provisional cast-on
-cables
-reading charts
-kitchener stitch (on crack)

I started this during school so it got put on back burner til xmas break…and now the only reason its not done is because I want to sew the ends together using special kitchener stitch for cables and i need to find out how first, and to do that i need to get the interweave summer mag where TechKnits or Eunny or one of those clever people explains it..but i dont want to buy it b/c i think i’m getting it for xmas! :P

Inspired by Stitches West and guided by TechKnitter, I plunged in sans magazine and just figured that thing out! I’m proud of myself. :)
I made a diagram (based on TechKnitter’s illustrations, thank you!!) that reeeeeally helped.

you can still tell where it joins, b/c i got a bit hasty and started out wrong, plus the seed stitch border was trickier than the rest of it…and the actual cable pattern does not continue accurately at that point. But still. It’s one piece, and when its on my head nobody’s going to notice that stuff, even if i had it on top (but I’m planning on keeping it on the underside of my hair).
And it fits too! hoo-RAH!
