Wednesday, January 26, 2005 ( 7:58 AM ) Melody Seeing Red I did it. I went red. I cut off all my hair a few months ago, but lately I've been getting kind of bored with having the same style every day. I can't make it grow by inches overnight, and I can't go much shorter without shaving it, but changing the color's easy enough. Now I'm Cherry-Cola-- at least for the next 3-4 months. I'm kind of enjoying life as a redhead, although it certainly restricts the wardrobe. Unfortunately, I finally started knitting a sweater for myself out of Elann's Peruvian Collection Highland Chunky wool in a rusty red and oatmeal brown, and the red is just one or two shades off my hair. I don't think I'm going to be able to wear it unless I go brown or back to my natural blond. So I guess I'm knitting Vanessa a sweater now. In case anyone's interested, I'm making up the pattern if I go along using the percentage system that I learned about on Knitty in Julie Theaker's great Knit by Numbers piece. It's incredibly easy, and I feel like I'm learning a lot more about knitting by doing this than by following a specific pattern. I mean, this is the way knitting was done in the Middle Ages-- except women in the Middle Ages probably didn't have the benefit of circular needles. # |
