Jacket or Bathrobe?
Last night I started the collar on Twist, but it’s taking longer than I anticipated. Natch.
In the meantime I found the perfect buttons. However, the Stitching Post only had 4, and I need 7. I placed an order for more, but they told me it could take as long as a month to come in. It seems Twist is living up to its name. Every time I think I'm close to finishing this thing, the project takes a new turn.
During the blog hiatus I finished the pink cardi. Well, it was intended to be a cardi/jacket, but it is fuzzy and pink – which calls to mind a bathrobe. I wasn’t sure I should even wear it to work, but the Knit Wits convinced me I could wear it to any meeting. (Thanks Molinda, Teresa, and Ellenmarie.) 
Here's a closer look.
Specs:
Yarn: Peace Fleece worsted weight, 5 skeins
Colorway: Moscow Magic Pink
Pattern: My own
Width: 36 inches
Length: 22 inches (I think)

This is the easiest cardi/jacket pattern in the world. There is no edging or collar to knit at the end – just the usual seaming. It’s a quick knit, too. I’m really happy with the fit and the drape. Still not sure about the pink, though.
1. Even people with short hair can have bad hair days. Who knew?
2. It's possible to have hair that's too short. (Not in this pick. The hair cut I got on Saturday is REALLY short. Dave was both relieved and pleased when I admitted as much.)
3. Even short hair can require some work in the morning.
Live and learn.

The short hair thing? You've known me with 1/4 inch hair...right? WAY more work than how I have it now. When your hair is short the only good thing is it doesn't take as long to wash and dry but you end up doing it e-v-e-r-y day.
Cute sweater! and interesting points about the short hair. Mine is long now b/c I'm lazy - it's easy to just throw it back into a low ponytail and have it look somwewhat professional...
Love the sweater!! You are one brave gal...I can't bet past my shoulders on a haircut! Love it!
