More Turban Tying Fun.

I cam across this video from the 1940s whilst researching more ways to tie scarves onto your head. And very nice it is too. The outdated attitudes of the male voiceover is worth giggle too.

Head Case.

I wish I was more of a "hat person" but the truth is I always feel a little self concious with something perched atop my head. I am working on it though and have been loving my furry hat this winter. Toasty ears plus plenty of compliments are a surefire way to help banish any feelings of insecurity in your headwear. I have also been feeling the turban trend which is starting to emerge.

I love the old school glamour look it gives. A quick google throws up squillions of fabric versions and tutorials for how to tie a scarf into a turban can also be found and I can't wait for the warmer weather as I would love to use this as a way to protect my bleached hair from the suns rays, but I wanted something cosier. Of course! Knitted turban!


But seeing as I am aiming to improve my knitting skills I thought I would DIY this! So I have purchased a vintage knitting pattern from an Etsy seller. This one.


So wish me luck! This may or may not happen. But hopefully it will. I think I would like grey or navy and I am going to keep my eyes open for a beautiful sparkly brooch to pin onto the finished piece. The cherry on top if you will.
