I like how the headband turned out. It'll be really warm. 
Today, I decided it was time to knit again.
I ripped up a blanket I had started a month or two ago but decided it was not a nice blanket. The nobbly yarn wasn't enough to make a blanket feel like a blanket. So I paired it with a soft machine-washable wool and it's going to be fabulous now.
The blanket is now soft, has a nice stretch, and good body to it. Pairing up a good basic yarn with a novelty yarn is a great way to go.
Today I also started and finished a simple cowl from some random mohair-esque yarn I found in a donated stash. It was cut up into pieces and wound around clothesline pins so I don't know anything about the yarn but it turned out lovely and just the right amount. 
On the mannequin head it looks a bit loose, but on me it's just flush with my neck. I crocheted it with an N hook and did a simple V lace with a base of hdc. It feels great to be back creating.
