Cabled Headband Project

I finished the first headband out of my headband project this morning! For this headband I used a dark grey alpaca yarn that I bought at a craft show. This headband took a little while for me to make because I have been busier lately and I had to start over many times because this was a new type of knitting for me. For this pattern I had to learn how to actually use a pattern, how to cable stitch and purl, how to use circular needles, and how to use a counter. I started using size 15 needles instead of size 13 like the pattern asks for because, I can sometimes be a tight knitter. This ended up being way too loose so I switched back to size 13. I also learned that a counter can be very handy even if you are really good at knitting. Overall, this headband is a little looser than I would like it to be but other that I am very satisfied with the outcome.
