Crocheted Headbands

white crocheted headband

The pattern was from a Japanese book.
I increased the number of starting chains to make up for the thinner thread. This is the main problem I have with following patterns from other countries because here in the Philippines we only have two available threads, the mercerised cotton thread ball and the acrylic yarn.

and another one: a red wide bobble headband

Pattern from the Crabby Crafter
I increased the number of rows in the widest bobble and double crochet parts to reach the 21-inch circumference.

Pride and Prejudice jigsaw puzzle

Big thanks to Maria Grazia and Ms. Rigler for the giveaways. My sister won the puzzle and it was her first time to join. She might frame it in the future. We've never had a 500-piece puzzle and it took four hours to complete it last night.

Her hair always got messy when we took these photos. It was very windy at the old Sasa airport. LA blogs, too, mostly about poetry. You can check out her blog: LA Reveals.
