So I do think it could be learnable even by someone like me.<br /><br />A headband is worth a try if you happen to have one or want to quickly (in an afternoon or two) knit one.Lilinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-72766570022923712292022-12-07T08:49:35.247-08:002022-12-07T08:49:35.247-08:00Hi Lynn,

I can remember these used for wearing while skiing when I was a girl. I still have a couple of my wool headbands from when I was younger. For wearing around town, they've been quite popular in my area for the last 10 years or so. And I see them in a range of colors, patterns, yarns, and styles. So they seem to be something of a fashion accessory as well as functional, here.Lilinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-62221029999734138842022-12-07T08:45:01.017-08:002022-12-07T08:45:01.017-08:00Hi Live and Learn,

I usually wear my hair pulled back or up and that can aggravate a headache for me. The headbands only bother me when my head feels too warm. <br /><br />Hoods might work better for you, even the sort that are not attached to a coat or jacket, but that has scarf ends that wrap around your neck. And that brings me to another tip that a friend passed along to me several years ago -- she wears a thin knit scarf around her neck indoors in winter. I will sometimes do that in lieu of a knit headband.Lilinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-81390260410411015322022-12-07T08:39:07.261-08:002022-12-07T08:39:07.261-08:00Hi Alice,

And I agree, they're great for keeping hair off the face. Even though I wear my hair pulled back when working, there are always those stray hairs that fall onto my face.Lilinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-34488121755693223162022-12-07T08:36:37.620-08:002022-12-07T08:36:37.620-08:00Hi Cat,

They really work for me without making me overheat.

That can cause a problem because when I get a hat/headband loose enough that it doesn't bother me, it often won't stay on. But this is something I might knit for someone else.Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-58982259079741162152022-12-07T04:45:49.798-08:002022-12-07T04:45:49.798-08:00I love wearing headbands but never thought of wear...I love wearing headbands but never thought of wearing one inside. I used them for walks in early spring or fall as well as doing yardwork to keep my hair from getting in my face. I have three of them that I alternate using, a red one, a grey one, and a turquoise one. I love them all.<br />AliceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-85423100126586949432022-12-07T04:04:50.132-08:002022-12-07T04:04:50.132-08:00These remind me of what we call "ear warmers&...These remind me of what we call "ear warmers" in this area. Are these worn over the ears? I have extremely thick hair, so I mostly avoid hats, even outdoors, unless temps are below the 40's (except for rain, or light hats for sun protection). But I do occasionally wear the ear warmers for walking or hiking. Makes a lot of sense to do so in your case if they help you feel warmer.Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00396716408304381802noreply@blogger.com
