So, after some quality time together tonight, TheBoy told me that he almost cut off his hair today. So I asked him if he was going to go to the barber, or just take his clippers to it. I’ve been dragging my feet on the whole him-cutting-his-hair-thing because I like it long (by long I mean an inch). At any rate, at 10pm we seated him in the kitchen and I clippered the heck out of his head. And I am sad at the lack of hair he now has.

In happier news, the fabulous Kristi loved her gift. I made her a pair of mitts from some lamb’s pride worsted in clemantis with some white acrylic yarn making a skull and crossbones on the back of the hand. Stefanie’s skully to be exact. I hadn’t ever done any intarsia before and I’ll have to say I don’t care much for it. But the mitts looked fantastic. I ran out of time and didn’t photograph them this morning, but Kristi’s promised me a photo to post here for you. I got a fabulous, very warm, stripey scarf from her and we had a blast knitting/crocheting together this afternoon. She heads home Friday and I head home next Wednesday so I won’t see her again for a whole 2 weeks or so *sniff sniff*.

Christmas knitting is progressing, although my sister’s box didn’t make it in the mail today. I have decided it HAS to go tomorrow, because I’m getting short on time. Luckily it only has to make it halfway across the country, not all the way like it would to home. eek!
