Knitting for netball...

Whipped up a headband and finished it in the past week. Used up scraps of wool from a tea cozie made recently. Endeavouring to keep my ears warm while playing netball outside on a Melbourne night. So chilly! What better solution than a snowflake patterned headband to warm those frozen ears...
I used to pattern from a tea cozie book, doubled it and removed a few stitches to get a pattern I preferred. Also lined it with a plain stocking stitch, in order to ensure no bobby pins get caught in the back of the fairisle patterning. It is amazingly warm and makes playing netty outdoors in bone-chilling winds more tolerable. Now I need a solution for when it rains...
