2019 Destash Project #1- Knotwork Cabled Headband by Lucy Liebenstein

Happy New Year!
Here it is, our first project:

Knotwork Cabled Headband- 2019 Destash Project

My first idea was to pick random projects, but as I thought about it, I thought it might be better to plan for items you may want in the winter, and maybe space out the larger projects with smaller ones.
I picked this project because in my part of the world it’s winter and I’d like something to keep my ears warm that isn’t as bulky as a hat. The cables are a nice little challenge for people wanting to learn something new (cables are seriously easy, I promise), and keep it interesting for experienced knitters.
Let’s aim to have this finished by January 15th, and I’ll post the next project on January 16th.
Hurray! We’ve started!!!


Update:

I had some time to finish this before I start back to work tomorrow. It fits nicely and I am happy with how the seam looks. I just sort of picked up stitches and sewed together as if I had thread. The yarn is so soft and cozy on my ears, very happy with this project!

Very nice! You are way to quick for me!! I started with fingerless gloves and ended up frogging to begin again. I had made a mistake in the increasing stitches and they were coming out a bit small anyway so I thought I would just start over with a larger needle. Not much time for knitting this week but I hope to have them done by the 15th. This headband is cute tho, I'll have to see if I have anything that would work for that. I bet that I do!!
