Survivorman
Finally, I have a picture of my Crinkle sweater:
It isn’t the best picture, really. You can’t see the lace pattern very well. I finished the tip of my mitten today. I must have counted wrong when I started the decreases, because I ended up with way too many stitches on one side. It didn’t look like I had missed any decreases. The mitten feels too short right now, but you are supposed to block it longer. I haven’t started the thumb yet.
At our house, we love the show Survivorman. I really love Les Stroud’s wool hats that he wears when he is doing a cold weather show. So I am going to make myself a Survivorman inspired hat, and I’m going to call it my Survivorman hat. I’ve got some Lopi laying around just dying to become something. I do wonder if he buys the hats or if someone he knows makes them. Some of them appear to be lined with fabric and I have seen hats sold like that. Mine will not be lined, but if I had very short hair it might be. Did I ever tell you about the time I shaved my head? I thought it would be cool to see how my hair would look if I just shaved it all off and let it grow. And I thought to myself, ‘guys do it all the time, so why can’t I?’ So I did. In January.
This morning, I was making my blog rounds for the first time since Thursday morning and found out some wonderful news. Loneknitter is engaged. Congratulations, Jenny and Manly!

I have a hat I want to line. My skin is pretty sensitive, and even though it's not a really scratchy wool, it makes my forehead itch. It's just a matter of getting some fleece and sewing it in...I imagine I am just going to have an itchy forehead instead.
You are getting a lot of knitting and sewing done - bravo!
