So silky, how will it stay in my hair?

I've been working on this little headband on and off for a few weeks now. Obviously not major knitting, and I don't need to think very hard while working on this. The Simple Lace Headband is a good pattern, though I need to figure out how long this little thing is supposed to be.

The only complaint, which is my fault, is that the silk won't stay put on my head. I'm going to use a few strategically placed bobby pins to keep the damn thing on. I do love that this is using up what little yardage of the silk I had left over from my silk-and-mohair Edgar ... and the color pops against my dark hair.

Existence! Who knew!

The blog and I still exist!

I have misplaced my camera cable, so while there are pictures, they are being held hostage on my digital camera.

The Celtic Knot Afghan is coming along beautifully. I am now on gauge (I think), using Addi Turbos in US 10.5. The difference between the 10.5 and 10 is astounding. I am on my second skein of Cascade 220 Superwash Paints in Jelly Bean.

I also, around April 21st, cast on the Simple Lace Headband by Melissa Mall (ravelry link). It's a small project, and I'm using up the last twelve yard of my pink Colinette Tao. US 6 needles are being used for the project.

I've joined a knitting group at a local bookstore, thanks to one of my friends from work. Yay! The meeting place is highly dangerous: there are books. Lots of books. Including the latest Rick Riordan, The Last Olympian. (For those not in the know, The Last Olympian is the fifth, and perhaps final?, book in the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series)
