I got a hair cut the other day. I wanted something different... A little shocking maybe? I absolutely LOVE the outcome!
I'm calling it "big pink". It's definitely 90s. Been listening to Pearl Jam and lots of REM and Nirvana these days and thinking I'm much cooler than I probably really am... So hence... Pink hair!
Have lots to talk about... Poker winnings, a day at the spa, a couple of GREAT serger classes for the new machine... Life is pretty good these days, I guess. Finished a scarf in about two hours on Sunday... You know, BEFORE the new 'do.
Seven strands held together: Koigu, Blue Sky Alpaca Silk, Ella Rae Kasbah, Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece, Rowan Tweed (that I've had FOR-ever since the FIRST time I ever went to Purl) (two different-colored strands of that), and some Paca Peds. I'm in love. It took NO time whatsoever.
Tonight I made a quickie little linen bag using both the Janome and the serger. I flat-locked a Japanese kokka scrap to the linen and went to town. I think it turned out cute. Originally I made it for a lady at work, but somehow I think this might be added to my little collection...
Just ignore the fuzziness of the photos... These were taken with the iPhone.
I loved this little scrap since the first day I picked it up at Purl. Wish I had more of it.
Have I mentioned how much I absolutely LOVE the serger? Can't wait to make some easy quickie blankets on it... Learned some great tricks at the sewing class on Thursday. Need more hours in the day.
So here's the real haircut:
It's cut REALLY different from the previous look, but only cool people actually noticed I got it done. Boring assholes at work. Whatever. I like it. :) Goodnight.
Life is good over there! :o)
I like BOTH hairdos Haha!
Heart the scarf! (literally on Ravelry)
See you soon!

Rock On! I love the new hair. I've been trying for that for years but the curls just do their own thing. The bag is very cute too.

Hi Steph,
We met at Charlotte yarn last Sunday. I was knitting a beige sock, we chatted a little and you gave me your blog info. I found the pattern for Francis Revisited - I may not cast perhaps Sunday. Hope to see you soon and I love short haircuts!
