Knitting progress....

....on the Central Park Hoodie. The color is a little off. It is Frosty Green. I'm excited with the way it is coming along.

Not much other news. I did get a hair cut. At least six inches cut off. My hair is short again. About chin length. I can flip it up or under. Today it is kind of both. Our water is so hard here that my hair was beginning to feel (and look) like straw. I asked the girl cutting my hair about it; and she said to use a clarifying shampoo once a week, and that should help. (If anyone else has this problem, too...) We are just renting, and no water softener (we aren't going to pay for one when it isn't even our house, you know?)... We drink the water from the fridge; which has a filter. I have never had water harder than this. If you put some in a glass and stuck a fork in it, it would stand up straight. (Not really, but...) At least it isn't all rusty, too. We had water like that in Michigan (every time the power went out.) It still wasn't as hard though. I didn't drink the water there, either; without a Brita water pitcher.

I've ordered two retractable tape measures recently. One is for the swap at Crochet Mania that I am in. I can't find any tape measures anywhere here. :( You'd think they would have everything here, but it seems just the opposite. Oh well. I prefer ordering online anyway. Don't have to deal with traffic, long lines, rude people...

Have a great Tuesday everyone. What's left of it. ;)

Tee Hee! My hair was the longest it has been, in a long time. It used to be to the middle of my back. But, give it a couple years... it will probably be long again. ;) All the pictures of you must be from when your hair was short, huh?

Thanks Lucy. :)

I did notice your hair was longer than usual...
I wanted to let my hair grow long too, as I hate going to a salon for anything including haircuts. But it just won't work (unless I want to look like a grumpy old lady :p)
Your sweater is looking awesome, lovely cables!

Mine was looking so stringy and straggly. That's one of the reasons I didn't show my face/head in the last post. :/ (I'm pretty much always grumpy though... lol)

Thanks for stopping by. :D
