Crafty Crafty

I love to craft. Its the feeling of creating something unique and beautiful... being able to say "I made that." Needless to say Itty Bitty hates Pinterest, or rather, me on Pinterest, (check out my boards here) and the many oh so cute baby girl things one can create. She would be in big trouble if I ever get a sewing machine.

Today's project was a crochet adult headband for a friend. This was my first time creating my own crochet pattern, and I think it turned out pretty good! Here is the pattern if you want to try this at home:
