Everyones updating, so heres mine :D

So ya...
here is my update
Been knotty since late February this year.

From the back



And a lil closer ...


And finally, a hat I made. You guys have been posting some pretty swell hats so I decided to make a few

 

Looking great, I really like the thickness of them, not too fat, not too thin

 

is the 2nd pic bleached naturally or did you do it?

andddd how did you do the hat! ive got some corkin on the go, so i was ganna try and fashion it into a tam type thing, but i dunno if ive made enough

 

haha u uk dreadies..lol,
what is umm corkin on the go mean?



mellissaabeeeeeee i missed youy
and your dreadies mllookin so good
they grew since we talked last (u vannished mid conversation for months..lol i wses about to send out a search party)

 

I think the camera flash makes them lighter then they are.
I did, several months ago, bleach out 7 dreads.
My hair has never taken to dyes or bleach,
so some has faded back to normal.

That hat took 1 normal size roll of yarn.
Its just 4 chain stitches, joined in a circle.
Then triple crochet stitches the rest of the way,
adding and dropping to shape it. Pretty easy.

 

and what is that meant to mean =[

meanie.

 

and corking is a style of knitting, through a corking doll, and ive got this huuuuuge length that ive made, but i have no idea what to do with it..

google it! =]

 

your dreads are looking good, what method did you use?

 

Your dreads are looking really nice!!
Oh, and nice work on that hat, I really like thoes pink dangling thingies on the back....

 

My hair was cut in a bob style when I decided to let it get knotty.
Meaning same length all around about to my ears.
I initially back combed here and there, only about 1 inch of hair just to kinda get things going.
Other then that I just kept a hat on my head for months, salt water, and fidgeting.

 

Is fidgeting a blanket term for rolling them around, playing with the ends..etc? If so, im super guilty of that..

 

I'm afraid I figet wayy too much! Its turning into a bit of a nervous habit as I try to quit smoking

 

fidgitting is a nervouse habbit of just playin with em
nothing specific as rolling ot anything like that
at 1 inch the random haphazard backcombing probly didnt take at all or realluy do much good so id think theyre pretty much natural
seems your hairs pretty thick and turned into alotta dreads, maybe not quite as many as me but close..have u ever counted em?
i'm bettin u have ovcer 100

 

those are sweet dreads dude!

 

yep

thanks

Ya most of that back combing did fall out.
Just counted 89 dreads. Not including little potential baby dreads.

 

nice I love the tam!
