Seedlings
Seedknitting is not something I've spend much time doing before. I don't think it's much fun, either knitting nor looking at.
BUT, I know you felt a but coming, when the big dollop of wool had started to get to comfortable in the yarnbasket I knew I had do to something about it. And why not knit a set consisting of matching headband and scarf. AND, why not use the seedknitting technique!?
Said and done! The headband was knitted on needles 6 (eu size) and the scarf on needles 12. The lady in the store recommended needles 20, but that would have given a very scanty scarf and I wouldn't have liked that.
Anyhow - I casted on 10 stiches for the headband, seedknitted until it was large enough to go around my head. Then I did the finishing by binding off the stiches on my needle together with the knitted stiches at the beginning of the headband. That way I made the bindoff and the stiching together in on.
With the scarf I did the same, but I casted on 15 stiches and knitting until the yarn was used. Then I did the same bindoff as for the headband. In total I used 2 skeins, a total of 300 grams. If you knit a pair with scarf and headband/berret/woole hat - always knit the headpiece first - then you don't have to think about how much yarn you have to save while knitting the scarf.

I think the seedknitting really gives this scarf and headband that little extra. I think the seads are almost like small emeralds and safires!
Thanks again to Eddy for taking the pictures!

Vår franska bulldog är det bästa vi har! Som vårt lilla barn, mysig och sällskaplig. Här i Norge stickar alla som galningar, även de i vår ålder :)
