Finished Blue Leaf Headband

Sorry I've been so MIA recently. I just started working, and yesterday was my first day off in a week. Fortunately, I'm going to be off until next Thursday, so that gives me some time to catch up on my knitting!

I did finish the blue leaf headband for boyfriend's mom a little while ago, I just haven't had time to post about it.

I'm really satisfied with how it turned out. It still rolls a little bit because of the border, but with a little wear, I think it'll sort itself out. It was my first time using a selvage edge, and I don't really notice a difference between that and a normal edge. Everything I've read tells me that it stabilizes the edge and helps to keep it from curling, and I guess the knit stitches that have the edge aren't curling, but that isn't stopping the purl row right next to them from doing so anyway. I mean, I guess it doesn't hurt to have it.

I used the option in the pattern which allowed for a button hole, and the thing that kept the headband from being really and truly finished was me slacking and just not sewing on the button because it's kind of a pain. I finally did it, and I think the colors are nice together.

That's another Christmas present in the complete pile! I really hope she likes it.

Happy knitting!
