What I really want to share with you is two special Star Wars projects I made recently in eager anticipation of the new movie!
Dark Side Headband

stitched onto a black band that was knit in all once piece.
I've been rationing a ball of Bernat Glow In the Dark yarn I got years ago. It's been discontinued for a while, but I've been able to eek out a few neat pieces, including a TARDIS hat I made my sister. It's one of my favorite yarns, and I'm running out. There's glow yarn on Amazon right now, but it looks a little pricey, so I'm thinking I'll try to make my own glow yarn using some tips I've seen online. Who doesn't love experimenting?

I kinda just winged it with the design. I already had the basic black band from last winter's unfinished project. I used some graph paper to plan out the letters, and then I stitched them onto the band, and then I stitched the glow background around the letters.

That's no hat...Death Star Beanie
So, the night before we went to see the movie - some might call it "The Force Awakens Eve" - I realized I hadn't planned any projects to bring with me to work on while I sat in line for the premier. Then, by some kind of divine inspiration - perhaps I was feeling the Force? - I realized that the Death Star is the perfect shape for a beanie! Why don't we see more Death Star beanies? That seems like an imbalance in the galaxy, so I sought to rectify that.This was a really easy pattern that worked up super fast. Simple + fast = perfect waiting-in-line knitting project. I had some sparkly
My plan is to create some little bright green lazers to shoot out of the Superlaser focus lens...
