groundhog day?

headband1 
Monday AM, I'll be heading up to Vermont for 3 days of photo shoots. I'll be in some pretty great locations but none of them call for wild hair. A new week, a new headband.

yarn: Berocco Pure Pima in Beech, theoretically matching everything in its colorless neutrality yet looking awful next to my skin
needles: size 7us
comments: This is an ideal headband, just right for summer, love the width & lace-that-is-not-prissy, quick but not boring to knit. Didn't even bother to block.

I'll definitely wear it a lot despite the deadly color on me. I broke it in at a neighborhood happy hour on the beach tonight, and tomorrow it'll be on my head in a soybean field somewhere way north of here. I like a headband that gets around, don't you?

The start of  V3.  Not that I'm obsessed or anything. This'll be like the blue one, but wider, same yarn but in Oyster. I reached half done with it and then remembered Ellen, #1 crochet enabling friend,  suggesting a striped granny stitch one. I'll have 3 different half skeins left after this, I have a feeling I know what V4 will look like.....

As long as it isn't little granny squares...

Aww, phoey, I love granny squares. Your little handbands seem like the perfect travel/summer projects.

I'm getting kind of twitchy about this headband deal and I don't even have the wild hair for it. It'll sit on my flat head like a snood that's lost its way. But perfect end-of-summer no-ambition knitting, am I right?
