Knitting Content–WOAH!
Okay, so its been a long time since I actually photographed any of my knitting. Here I present you with some photos of a sock in progress. I'm calling it the retro-stripe because of the colorway of the yarn. Something about 3 shades of green, tan and white that screams I (heart) the 70's to me.
more photos of the sock in extended entry.
New Hair.
Its a layered bob, the back sits right at my hairline. The way the stylist did it looked pretty soccer-mom so the fabulous Kristi took me to the product graveyard in her house and gave me some goo, then we went and bought more goo (sebastian xtah twisted taffy) and we funkified the soccor-mom. I love it.

Today’s the Day.
In just a few hours from now I will be minus much of the hair I currently have. I hold quite a bit of trepidation because my hair has been its current length or longer for over 4 years now. I've been tossing around words like 3-4" long and they're starting to freak me out a little bit. I trust that the guy I'm going to will do a better job than the last lady did, and that I can get advice on what to do with this mop that I call hair. I'm also going with the fabulous Kristi so I know she won't let me do anything stupid. Oh, and the salon is right near my LYS. I may have to stop in. Wish me luck!
Studious or rebellious?
Sometimes I wonder why I'm still in school. I love my program, I love being a student but at times like tonight I wish I could curl up with knitting and some cocoa and ignore the fact that I should at least do a little reading for my quiz tomorrow. I know that all I need to do to ace the quiz is read the book which is very enjoyable, but Tuesdays are long and I just want to work over the pattern for Rogue so that I can start knitting it. The wool is calling my name. I'd also like to clean my apartment. Well, there's always this weekend.
In good news, I'm learning how to write copy at work. Its very time consuming and a little frustrating but I think I'm doing a good job for my first attempt. The project I'm working on could turn into a big ball of mess if I don't keep an extensive paper trail of all decisions made so I am doing just that. There's post-it notes, printed emails, etc all ready to file away.
Does anyone know of an adhesive that can be used to attach postcards to a plaster wall (painted) that won't destroy either the paint or the cards? I have a whole bunch of postcards up on my office wall but they keep falling down on me. (They're currently held up with scotch tape. I love that stuff).
The weather felt a little more normal here today. I'm glad because the 60 degrees in January was starting to weird me out quite a bit. Its just not right. 30's I'm okay with, because that's the normal for here. A 30 degree jump in temperature is a little bit freaky. This entry is really random and mostly me being a bit crabby. I apologize.
