My entire life has been spent being blonde….varying degrees of naturalness, but I have always been blonde. When I was little it was a very natural true blonde as I got older it got more dishwater. But thanks to the foiling gods….the natural blonde of my youth can be achieved for a price.
On Halloween this year for fun I sprayed my hair black, and found that I might like having a different look. Since I have had a very introspective year, I decided a new exterior might suit the new interior I have discovered. So a couple of weeks ago I went a nice “rich” (that’s what B, my hairdresser, called it) brown with just a few blonde streaks. I like it and have found that it is at least making the pain of growing my hair out a little more interesting for the time being.
THEN I have moments like tonight and realize that I am still (and probably always will be) a blonde at heart.
Knitting night started out so nice. Warm soup & breadsticks followed by comfy chairs by the Christmas tree with carols playing in the background. I’m so excited to get going on my sister’s scarf again. 4 rows into it something looks odd. That would be because I had a “moment” and decided to reset my row counter and start the pattern at row 1 instead of row 6 like the counter had been telling me to do (though obviously my counter needs to yell at me). Don’t make me explain what came over me to do such a crazy thing, because I did have a reason. The reason was WRONG because I hadn’t engaged my entire brain. Resulting in me spending about 1/2 of knitting night tearing out my freshly completed work and trying to figure out where I dropped a stitch in the cable during my frogging. Lesson learned…..please engage brain prior to starting to knit, and NEVER frog anywhere near a cable, it is guaranteed to be complicated.
2 hours of knitting night resulted in 7 correctly completed rows. Crazy! But at least the company was good, and it is easier to laugh (and maybe curse a little) at my mistakes when I have a friend there to laugh with me.
Never frog near a cable … words to live by! Glad you got some smiles out of the experience anyway!!
