Girl with a Curl
Isn’t it Friday yet? Between my Uncle, my parents’ trip, and my boss being out this week, I’m starting to think this week won’t ever end!
I’m a little worried about my health, too. It just occured to me that it’s been one, even two months since I bought any yarn! Good gracious! I can only hope this isn’t contagious . . . now that would be a computer virus to worry about. I wouldn’t have any readers left!
Still, in the interest of the good health of all of you (I wouldn’t want you to catch this, because that’s the generous, thoughtful, selfless person I am) . . . yep, I just bought some yarn! I bought some Calmer in Coral to make a “Nothing but a T.” And while I was at this nice, UK website, I threw in a few extra balls of KidSilk Haze in Jelly, too, maybe for another “Birch.” Who knows? The price on the yarn, even with the exchange rate, was good, so . . . how could I resist?
I’m having a good hair day, though an interesting one. Last night, when my hair dried, my bangs (or what were bangs when they were shorter) formed one, long, perfect ringlet right down the side of my forehead. It survived the night’s sleep and so today, I’ve got my usual head of loose, 3a curls, plus one stand-alone ringlet. Almost as if it feels it’s too good to fraternize with those easy-going curls. (Well, it’s mingling a bit, but still keeping to itself.)
Then, at lunch . . . you wouldn’t believe what our nice, residential street looks like!
We’ve got the electric company digging up all sorts of things (like somebody’s gas line on Tuesday, causing a 4-house evacuation). They’re replacing the underground cables that have been, apparently, rotting for the last 30 years.
Then, there’s the cable company, digging to upgrade to fancy, fiber optic cables (or something like that). Just on our walk around the block, I counted about 15 trucks! (Not including the one that was blocking me into the driveway, that they had to move so I could get back to work.) Sheesh. It used to be such a quiet neighborhood.

What beautiful ringlets you have! People pay a fortune for those. I did my Audrey in Coral, it’s such a gorgeous shade isn’t it? Good for you having a spend, two months is too long.
Oh you will LOVE knitting with CALMER, if you are like me…
The curl picture reminded me of that rhyme…
There once was a girl
with a pretty little curl
right in the middle of her
forehead…
When she was good,
she was very very good,
but when she was bad
she was HORRID!
teehee.
I used to have Very Curly HAIR and guess
how I know about THAT rhyme?
Ahem.
I’ve been making yarn rather than buying it lately. The only yarn I have bought this entire year so far is the Black Water Abbey for the sweater. I’ve been drwn to my handspun more than commercial yarns as of late.
So perhaps you were going through a similar phase. 
Thank you for taking one on the chin rather than risking contagion! I keep eyeing the Rowan Calmer as I want to make one of Allison’s T’s as well. It should be lovely in that color too!
Thanks again for the info on the planet dog bag. Mine arrived and its performing beautifully as a tote bag that can house all the stuff I need/want to schlep to and fro.
I always wanted curly hair - mine has always been so straight. Well I guess the grass is always greener. So glad your week is now coming to an end - mine seemed abnormally long as well and I am similarly relieved.
Well, as another girl with curls - I understand. When my hair is long and one length it does that all down the back if I get caught in the rain.
Both of your shawls are looking wonderful. Great colors!
Had to check to be sure, but no, I didn’t apologize in my latest post after two weeks away
