A Little Off the End
You’re dying to see a picture of my haircut, right?
(Hey, it’s the best I could do. And my camera and my sweater look good too, huh?)
I’m not the only one who got a haircut recently, though.
I gave Chappy one at lunchtime. Mostly just the fur around the edges of his ears (and the inevitable mats underneath), and the long fur covering his furry toes. That will make trimming his nails SO much easier! I pretty much left the rest of it alone because it’s been so darn cold lately.
I’m making progress on my Briar Rose sweater, too. I’ve got the top of the cardigan finished, and am almost done with the first sleeve (since I’m making them 3/4 length).
See the texture? That’s reverse stockinette stitch at the top, and from the point where the sleeves divide downward, it will be regular stockinette. Just for a little extra interest.
Can I just tell you how much I’m adoring the colors in this yarn? SO pretty!
I’ve started my Sylvi afghan, too. I know, this looks tiny–does it help to know that those are size 10.5 needles? And that I’ve only knitted about 15 rows and am almost done with my first skein of yarn?
(Next picture, I’ll try to add something for scale. You CAN just see the row counter in the corner, though.)
Here’s another interesting link for you–portraits of all 44 U.S. Presidents, morphing into one another. Very interesting! I must say, though, that some of these gentlemen were better looking than others. (And some of them had better portraitists.) The only thing I don’t understand is why it’s set to the music of Bolero?
And, from Boston.com … 48 fabulous photos from the inauguration yesterday.

The haircut looks great. It’s nice to look at orange yarn on a cold day.

I just gave Koni a full on grooming on Sunday. He got his ears and paws done and a couple mats on his belly taken care of. I used my new thinning shears and they work great! Your cut looks great! I’ll be getting a trim on Saturday. ]
How wide is the afghan? Looks like a short needle.
Great haircut. I’m long overdue for one myself. And you r Briar Rose sweater is wonderful. Really, I should bust out the Briar Rose I have and make something.
Your hair looks great!
[...] yes, my hair had a busy day, too. This was my first haircut since January and then colored it after supper. I think it’s in shock. My checkbook is, too. I don’t [...]
