I finished my final project of the season last night… this groovy granny scarf!
I don’t think I would ever have bought this yarn – it’s acrylic with a bit of silver thread woven in, and a little too flashy for my usual tastes… I got it via freecycle and figured I might as well put it to good use (AWESOME… I also got a brand new set of bed raisers via freecycle last night… I less than three freecycle!)!
I’m thinking that if there’s one day of the year I can get away with wearing something like this, Christmas Day would be it. Maybe I’ll go crazy & pair it with a Santa hat and an embroidered Snowman Sweater…
I could *totally* pull off this look, right?
Speaking of hats, I had a bit of yarn left over, which I attempted to turn into a granny triangle and which ended up looking a lot like a teeny hat for Miss Nina. I probably should not drink wine while experimenting with granny triangles… I feel very strongly that cats SHOULD NOT EVER wear hats, but for some reason (read: the second :::ahem:::third:::ahem::: glass of pinot) I forgot that last night.
this is the closest Nina would get to her tiny hat. Smart kitty!
Aaaaaanyway. Husband, Nina and I will be making the long, traffic filled trek to Pittsburgh tonight (it’s usually a 5 hour trip, but with holiday traffic it usually takes much, much, MUCH longer…), so I spent yesterday preparing myself for the holiday festivities by getting a sparkly new manicure & a last-minute head shrinking session (turns out I’m *not* the Grinch. :::whew!:::).
thumbs up for Christmas Anxiety!
It’s cool that I got the same color nail polish as the 12 year old who sat next to me, right? })i({

Sparkly nail polish NEVER goes out of style. That 12 year old has no idea just how cool you are.
