I wanted to make Husband a bookmark, but I didn’t think my frou-frou flowery pattern was going to cut it, so I dug deep into the depths of CPC, my go-to site for free patterns, & found this awesome little thing:
Which, in context, looks like this:
(Yes, that’s a copy of Ethics for Behavior Analysts, and yes, I’ve read it. I had to flip through a few pages to find one that wasn’t already highlighted or written on… *sigh* I’m such a nerd). Anyway. Cute, right? Well, I liked the little wheely pattern so much that I changed it a bit and turned it into this:
A headband! Yay!
Now everyone is happy! Husband likes his new bookmark, and I’m thrilled with my new hair accessory. Hooray world! })i({
(To change the pattern to a headband, just follow it as written, then, when you get to the end, instead of FO’ing and making a tassel, ch 20 (or however many will make it big enough for your head) & sl st to the other side to make a circle. Easy Peasy! )
What Not To Crochet
A Happy One 
gah! i’m so jealous of your crocheting abilities! no matter how hard i try, i just can’t do it right. and trust me, i’ve been trying and trying and trying. *le sigh* i guess we can’t all be awesome crocheters.
p.s. the headband is so totally rockin’. LOVE.
Well, I have been doing it since I was like, eight. Don’t be jealous, though. Sewing machines hate me, and always have. I’m considering throwing mine out of a window… I also suck at cross stitch, calculus, cleaning bathrooms, and not breaking drinking glasses.
yet another great gift idea for the voracious reader, hint, hint. I know John will keep this book mark forever. Looks like a sweet pattern. I, like Amy, am jealous! I can do very very basic crochet, but can’t follow a pattern to save my life.
Oh, don’t worry! It’s going to be a Homemade Christmas this year!
Aw I’m happy I found you. I absolutely giggled at your saving a zillion dollars.
Yay! Now, if only saving a zillion dollars was the same as HAVING a zillion dollars…
