Christmas in January
Well, I finally got a scarf done for R that I was meaning to get done by Christmas but with all that was going on and being sick I didn’t get a darn thing done. I usually send out cards but didn’t get a single one mailed out. It was a scarf made using the stitch pattern from www.sheepinthecity.prettyposies.com/archives/000079.html
I’ve used this pattern before and really like it. I found it is easier to bind off on the purl side working in pattern but just binding off as you go. R called tonight to say he got it and liked it, WOO HOO
It’s gotten cold again and I’ve restorted to wearing my scarf at work. I don’t like wearing long sleeves or heavy clothes when I’m doing hair. So usually I’m wearing some kinda t-shirt pull over type shirt that gives me freedom of movement and I don’t mind getting hair on and that can be laundered and dried easily. I used to wear long sleeved dress shirts that were tucked in. Well, the hair wants to work its way down between your shirt and pants (NOT FUN – EWWWW), dye gets on your shirt or bleach, then your good shirt is ruined. One time I had backed into some brown dye in my khaki pants and don’t need to tell you what that looked like, LOL. So I just don’t spend a lot of money on my work clothes. I wear jeans and then a pull over shirt. Nice and easy and affordable. So when it got cold and the owner of the shop doesn’t turn on the heat until we are all complaining I decided to just start wearing my scarf in the shop. Its awsome and its not too long and is just enough to keep the chill off. So far I’ve gotten comments like, Are you feeling alright, is your throat sore, whats with the scarf, why are you wearing that, lol. So that makes it even more fun to wear. Ha, give em all somethin to talk about
. I should have said I’m trying to cover a really bad hickey, LOL. Oh, in critter news. P gave me a soup bone (sholder bone I think) for Mitzi to chew on tonight as a treat. Well, you would have thought it was her last meal or something. She tore into it and was really enjoying it. I went to take it away to save for later and she growel and snarled at me like Cujo. So we had to have a little talk, LOL, its in the fridge so she can ejoy it tomorrow. TTFN

LMBO! Now if you were wearing a scarf while styling hair in saaayy Hollywood, everyone would just think you were an extravagant stylist!
I like that pattern of scarf up there. I think I’ll print it off and take it on the road today. HAP afgan lady is looking for new patterns to add to the mix of 6x9s, and I think that one will be quick and easy to adapt to a rectangle.
LOL at the doggy bone! I think all dogs are Cujo about their treats like that. Sounds so cute though.
That is a beautiful scarf! I LOVE the stitch pattern! I’m going to have to knit up a swatch of it to see how it looks on the back.
For winter, you might think about wearing a jersey turtleneck, and put a scrubs jacket or a lab coat over it. Actually, a pullover scrub jacket would work, too. Maybe something like this: http://www.allheart.com/ln1140.html
If you need to shampoo someone, the sleeves on a turtleneck can be pushed up and out of the way, and when you workday is done, take off the scrub top and all the hair stuck to it is off you. They’re mostly long enough that they might have saved you from getting dye on your pants. And they’re made to be sturdy and washable. And I think that with a little discrimination, you can get something that looks professional.
During the summer, a short sleeved T would work well under it.
