Garden Chef's Needle and Pen

Garden Chef was featured in 26 Random Acts of Kindness - Blogger Style   by 4 You With Love last month! Sorry if this came late. I prepared this last month but the holiday activities prevented me from finishing the post :( 4 You With Love blogged about the tragedy that happened at Sandy Hook Elementary last month.  A gunman was able to take 26 lives in that one horrific act and so  she challenged herself to do 26 random acts of kindness in her December 21, 2012 post. She did this by going through the posts that have linked up at  Link Party With a Cause  and selected 26 blogs with fewer than 200 GFC followers (or Facebook if GFC was not listed).  Then, gave these bloggers the gift of following them.  So that's how Gardenchef's  Retro Neck Band came to be featured in her blog (click here to view other featured blogs).  Here's the Retro Neck Band featured in 26 Random Acts of Kindness - Blogger Style by 4 You With Love.

I joined a holiday season marathon last year.  Who kept me company? My crochet needle, yarn and me! :) Well, it was a crochet marathon featured in my blog post entitled, " Holiday Season Crochet Marathon Part 3.

I found the   4-step pattern for this nice and snug neck band from Ravelry as a free download. Very simple and easy-to-make, this neck band could provide warmth during cold weather. Here is what I made using variegated yarn. I found a stone from an old bracelet and fastened it as button. Here's how the original Retro Neck Band by Ann Linderhjelm   looks like.  Well, what are you waiting for? Why don't you try making one yourself?
