Little doggy headband

Every knitter knows that feeling of finishing a project, breathing a sigh of relief, and then thinking, "what now?". After spending a good month knitting the baby blanket, I began to look through our extensive home collection of patterns (courtesy of a lucky ebay win!) for something new to knit. That is when, in let's knit magazine, I came across the cutest little headband! Here's a link to the pattern on ravelry: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/rufus-and-rollo. I have to say, going from a purely garter stitch blanket to a project like this was a bit of a big jump, but I think it turned out pretty well, I also deviated in colour from the original pattern, as I didn't know whether my sister was having a boy or a girl, so I knitted in gender neutral colours.
This project also gave me a chance to practice knitting in more than one colour and also was my first foray into swiss darning and kitchener stitch.
Comparing the two, how do you think I did?
Byesie bye!
