My newest headband pattern – Rugged Trail Headbands – gives you two different designs in the same pattern! While in the design stage I couldn’t decide which version to settle on for the pattern, so I decided to include both! I love the versatility of headbands and how they make such great gifts for both men and women. And I also love that each of these headbands only takes 3/4 of a skein of Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Worsted (though I can see them in the tweed also)!
The photo shoot for the pattern was done back in the Fall when I was visiting Bozeman, Montana and it seemed so appropriate to be out in the real West rugged trail country. Most of the photos I chose for the pattern needed to be more close-ups of the actual headbands (be sure to go to the pattern page: HERE or to Ravelry to see those), but do check out the photos below to see how beautiful the landscape was! And don’t worry – that grizzly bear was in a rescue sanctuary and educational center: Montana Grizzly Encounter. Fun place to see some grizzlies up close!
Katie is wearing version “A” of the headband.
Melissa is wearing Version “B”.
The landscape is so different from what I am used to in coastal Maine!
I like doing photo shoots of the photo shoots! My son, Joe, is my awesome photographer.
Can’t resist a little history.
Feeling the spirit of Sacajewea – always one of my favorites from the pages of history.
Learned a lot about Grizzly bears at the sanctuary, but definitely don’t want to be this close to one in the wild!
