oh and, did i mention that i will need hats?

[thereyougothen]

i am really not up to knitting hallowig, but i still fancy one...

i have one soft comfy hat.  i will need more. i will probably have to sleep in a hat, because my head will be *cold*

oh and, we have an au pair. she's 18 and from Germany, which is the same as the other two au pairs we know.

she arrives on 7th December, 2 days after my mum leaves.  she sounds lovely.  wish us luck.

I was just thinking the other day that I quite fancy making a Shedir. Calmer is so soft and stretchy and lovely.

ooh, that's really pretty, i'd not seen that one before. way beyond my capabilities.

I'm glad you like the look of it, because I bought the yarn this morning. Probably should have waited to see if you liked it first.

[thereyougothen.livejournal.com]

nah, you shouldn't have waited, how could i not like that?

you know my fluffy wrap-around cardigan? I have some more of that yarn, in both the same beige and in minty-toothpaste-colour... which do you prefer?

as for sleeping, what about an old-fassioned nightcap:

(only maybe without the embroidery?)

oh, minty toothpaste colour! beige = too much like normal hair colour!

how's the house stuff? and happy thanksgiving! (turkey stir fry here todaY, our oven is still kaput)

happy turkey day (we're doing fish)

about the hallowig: we'll see if I finish it before your hair is waist-length (I'm a slow knitter, but it's the only knitting project and my main handicraft until it's done!)

Good luck!

Probably sleeping in a hat would be more annoying than getting used to it. Men seem to manage to sleep without hair, after all!

I think if you start wearing the hallowig you may need to accompany it with cute 60's space style clothing and colourful Mary Quant style tights...

well, yeah, there'd be some silver lame in there for definite.

but unfortunately these days, what i see when i see the pink hallowig is: http://www.lazytown.com/
