In the early part of January, I turned another year older and decided it was time to go gray. I got a short haircut and got some low lights put in to make the transition easier. It is taking some getting used to and I am trying to figure out what colors look good on me.
I have also taken up knitting, but not because I am getting old, even though it would seem so...gray hair, knitting. I bring the girls to Mom to clean house and then we sit and talk and do "hand work.". I figured I could learn from Mom, it would be a good craft to easily start and stop, and I would at least do it every other week. It is going better than I expected, and I am keeping it loose and even so far. This is after about 4 restarts where I added stitches, dropped some, and had them fall off the needles. Now I have a good start on a scarf that will hopefully be finished next winter. The variegated yarn gives me much more of a sense of progress than a single color yarn; I don't know if I would ever choose a single color to knit.
Hi Marg~ The new cut looks good and it's quite "liberating" to go natural isn't it??!! I've been knitting quite a lot lately too and did a hats and a scarf for Marie and Bernice for Christmas. Do you crochet too? I've been having a lot of fun with that also.
