In the making: White, Pink, Grey Headband \\ Newborn Baby Girl

I'm trying to ship off 2 packages today: a cocoon for KimBerly E. Photography, and a cocoon and headband for MK Moments Photography. This headband is the last thing I need, and then I can go to the Post Office. So let's get started!

2:38 PM

So I'm starting off with the F-3.75mm needle, because the J-6mm seems way too large for the gauge.

Nope. I decided that that's way too small. I've upgraded to the H/8-5.00mm needle. Time to start over.

2:41 PM

I hate how big these headbands turn out. It would be fine for a 3-month-old, but I think it's entirely too large for a newborn. So I've decided to change up the rules a little bit. Instead of doing the DC in the bottom stitch, I'm going to do it all the way down to the half circle that the top 5 DC's created. I hope that makes the headband smaller.

2:59 PM

It's still thick! Lol I'm going to try this again with thinner yarn, and then with SC, instead of DC. Time to join the ends together.

3:09 PM

Wow. I feel like that took forever and a half. I HATE sewing -_______-

3:57 PM

Needles: F-3.75mm, H/8-5.00mm, J/10-6.00mm, N-9.00mm

In the making: White & Pink Open Weave Ally Beanie \\ Newborn Baby Girl

I went to Michael's the afternoon with Chrissie and purchased some new yarn. I thought I had enough to make a blanket to cover the world, but it turns out that my stock isn't very good. I bought all Vanna's Choice. Some pinks, greys and a white. I was supposed to make some more baby head bands, but I've decided instead to make a cute little beanie.

4:54 PM

I messed up. Misinterpreted the directions, so I had to erase about 10-15 minutes of work.

In the making: Mixed Brown Headband \\ Newborn Baby Girl

I'm supposed to be editing Mil Ball photos, but I really wanted to use the natural daylight to get some props done. The hat I made last night was way too big for the baby that came to the studio. I tried the newborn version on him and it was too long. I was disappointed, but I was also glad that I was able to find that out on my own, as opposed to finding out from a client.

So now I have to redo those.

But not now. I'm trying to make this headband:

With this yarn as the band:

Let's see how this goes!

2:28 PM

Turns out that my yarn is broken. Are you serious!! Good thing I found out in row 1 and not the last row...
