New Hair, New Sweater

As I'm sure you're all dying to know, I went with the henna. The "professional(ish)look" won out over all other considerations. Plus, there was the added benefit of having the henna at home already and not having to go out shopping.

Plus, I finished my Drops Jacket! Yeay, sweater for ME! It's so comfy I don't want to take it off. At some point (soon), I'm going to have to though. I managed to spill pie on it while I was working on it. I know, what a spaz-tastic me thing to do, right? And, apple pie bits + wool = moth feast. NOOOOOoooo! That's just not going to stand around here.

Drops Jacket in Malabrigo Worsted
I added pockets, changed the collar to fold over, put in snaps instead of buttons (though I think I may be putting buttons over the snaps at some point. If I make this again I will: make the body 1 1/2-2" longer, make the sleeves about an inch longer, make the bust just a little looser, make the pockets just a little taller. LOVE it how it is for this one though.

Also, I would have more photos for you, but it was really chilly and beginning to snow as I was taking these. My poor little ears were not happy with me. And since I somehow always manage to cut off my hair in the winter time, I've been making (and wearing) lots of hats lately. I'll have pictures of those for you soon. Maybe also some more photos of me in my new jacket. You know, post-washing.
