Do you like how you look in a baseball cap? Not me. And yet one needs some means of hair concealment for those feeling-less-than glamorous days. Enter the kerchief.Mom made one recently from a pattern called Kitschy Kerchief in Stitch N' Bitch, and it got me to thinking about adding a kerchief to my wardrobe du hair.
Though I like the pattern Mom used, I r-e-a-l-l-y like the free Lacy Crochet Kerchief pattern from a recent Classic Elite email - one of the nicest knitting-related emails I receive. (Sorry Knitting Daily, but you send too many offers masking themselves as "content"...)
With all of the yarn I have stashed about the house, there MUST be something that would make a good head covering, right? Hagrid and I went digging through all the yarn we could find. We decided cotton would be the best choice for a summer head covering. Alas the stash options came down to navy blue (too dark to show the pattern), drab olive (maybe, but no love there) and red (saving that for a baby hat). Or... there is that lovely Debbie Bliss Cotton Cashmerino... but in order to be sure I have enough to finish the sweater I'm making from that yarn, well, I have to finish the sweater.
And so, I'm back to where I should have been anyway -- counting down the last rows to finish a project before I cast on something new. Really should have it done by next weekend. Bets anyone?
