Not-so Natural Goldilocks and the 3 headbands

So the socks I was oh so ready to start on Tuesday night have taken a back seat. Yesterday I found a pattern for a headband to make with my leftover sock yarn. Last night after our anniversary dinner out, I cast on with my leftover Trekking. First try with 2 strands- too bulky. Second try, single strand- ok but the stripes were not working with the pattern. Third try? Why not make my own headband pattern that would work with the self-patterning yarn? This morning, I looked through my small selection of lace and openwork patterns for inspiration (there's that word again) and found one I liked and cast on. I haven't gotten far and I am sure I will have more frogging and restarts coming my way but hopefully I will have a "just right' moment and a my first pattern to share with all of you!
