pattern: cable and bobble headband
source: interweave knits, winter 2006
for: me
timeline: started 09.01.2007; finished 09.02.2007 (yup! 1 day.)
yarn: 1 ball (exactly) debbie bliss cashmerino chunky in 03 / coral
needles: US size 10 1/5 denise interchangeables

i needed a project that would fit three criteria. i wanted it to be something i could submit something to the contest over at stash and burn, use something from my stash, and be straightforward enough to learn continental knitting on. this fit the bill perfectly. i'd been trying to get rid of this lone ball of debbie bliss cashmerino chunky for forever. (i accidentally picked this up instead of a ball of cashmerino aran during my fetching-making craze of 2006.)

i decided to make slightly shorter i-cord ties (6" instead of 8") and skip the bobbles. as you can see, that worked out well.

in addition, i learned how to knit continental doing this project (aside from the i-cord - i just didn't want to deal with picking on that part.), so it was definitely a good project. also, picking seems a lot faster than throwing to me already. crazy, eh?
