It is an established fact that every knit/crochet vendor at a craft fair has their own version of a “twist” headband where there’s a criss-cross in front. I know that might make it feel like we don’t need yet another pattern out there, but hear me out, Mollie is an awesome designer, and you don’t want to miss out on this beauty. Besides, it’s Canada. You can always use more headbands.

At my workplace, instead of doing a communal birthday gift fund and all getting the same default gift, we’re all responsible for celebrating one person and making their birthday special!

When I first started crocheting around two and a half years ago, I really appreciated all the beginner friendly projects out there. I know that I haven’t always done a great job of posting simpler patterns, but here is a flashback to one of the very first projects I ever finished! It’s mostly chain stitches, and the four-strands look really cute when worn.
I’ve always liked the word “autumn” better than “fall”, but what I didn’t know is that the former is used more in British English, while the latter is used more in American English! In Canada, people use both interchangeably, and as a side plug for linguistics, I think that’s a super neat example of sociolinguistics.

Last month, I was part of a fundraising effort that was obtaining gift cards for Tim Horton’s to share with the less fortunate populations in Edmonton. The idea was that by allowing them to purchase a cup of coffee with dignity, they would also have a way to access warm shelter during times of bad weather.

In part of this making blitz, I managed to come up with this pattern using some yarn scraps for a cute headband / earwarmer!

She’s heading Disney World over the Christmas break, so this was a perfect post-exam activity. We ended up making two headbands, one crocheted and one out of felt.
