Today i tried to be productive with my work and wanted to crack on with work on the knitting machine; but i caught my jumper in, bent a few needles and it kept getting jammed. So, i stopped with what i had as i thought if i carry on i will not work to the best of my ability...
I made a lot of little circles hoping to make a fabric with them by overlapping them and layering them up with smaller ones; but as i was knitting them it naturally began to twist and curl and i thought this was a lovely example of feathery textures. So i hand sew each one individually to one another to get them to twist all together in a long strip. My aim is to make more of them to make a finished piece out of them as i only managed to do 2 strips....


It's not designed to be a headband but i thought it looked quite good as a hair accessory, its different!


It looks good and sweet i think. The knit makes it quite home traditional; the colours are very much inspired by flamingos!
