In high school I started wearing bandanas (with overalls, classy eh?). It was supposedly against the student handbook, but I never got in trouble for it even though one of my friends who wore them rolled as a headband did. They have been a staple of my wardrobe for over ten years now. I went through a phase where I didn't wear them much because I thought maybe I was too old and should dress more sophisticated. But um, hello! I am a mom who doesn't always get the chance to brush my teeth in the morning, so bandanas are awesome when I don't have time to fix my hair. Or when I'm just grumpy and tired of looking at my sparse strands. My bestie brought me back bandanas from the Philippines years upon years ago. I'm just sad that they wore out. Most comfy fabric ever to touch my head.

I like the outrageous sunhats too. And this year I broke down and bought one not caring how much Phil would laugh or shake his head at my craziness.

I love cute caps too, but don't buy them at stores. Ten dollars seems a bit steep, but a dollar at goodwill got me this beauty.
One of my first projects on my machine was this little ditty. It is super comfy thanks to the t-shirt, those rosettes just about did me in though!
Now that I am knitting (just started two weeks ago and am loving it!), I can make even more hats. This was my first project that was worthy of sharing. My actual 'first' started as a scarf that ended up as a quasi lap blanket that Wesley loves to play with. I found that knitting these hats was a quick and rewarding project. There are so many more that I want to try, so I have a feeling that the head hugger's website will log some frequent flyer miles on my browser in the next few months.
