More fun in a circle

I had some yarn left over from doing the hat so I decided to try something new. Wanting something for Jamie, I decided on a headband / earwarmer thing. I got out my #9 16" circulars and got to work.

I cast on 88 stitches and started in a knit one purl one pattern.
I didn't count the rows, I just continued till I thought it would fit her ears well. Actually, if you zoom in on the photo, you could probably count the purl rows fairly easily.


Anyway, it was an extremely easy project, and a good way to practice knitting for a beginner. I went today and picked up some #5 dpn's and a #5 16" pair of circulars. I'm thinking the smaller needle size will fit better with the current yarn I have atm.

Hey Mike...if you get to liking DPN's, definitely look into a set of Harmony from Knit Picks. The colours are cool but they're awesome to work with. Smooth, the stitches don't fall off and they're pretty fast for wood.

I keep hearing about them, I'm going to have to check those out!
