That maybe only a fellow knitter would understand.
See my hat-in-the making? See my new bangs? All those layers down the side? Yeah, that's new. Really new. I just cut my hair so it would look better in the hat. And, yep, I did it in the bathroom, in the mirror, with craft scissors. While Wearing The Hat.
I think I've crossed a line somewhere in there, but I'm not sure if where it was. In fact, I only noticed it when I looked back at the last half hour of my life and thought about my actions. (Perhaps the craft scissors were the giveaway.) But you guys get it, right?
Honestly, since seeing so many amazing hats at Rhinebeck I think I've become a little hat-centric. I have about 1o new hats planned for winter, and realizing my current haircut wasn't going to do any of them justice, I couldn't possibly wait another minute to rectify the situation. Hats need a little layering.
In the end, I'm thinking the actual haircut came out ok. Maybe even better than the one I paid for last month. Which is good, since I'm off for a big Anniversary Surprise Date tonight... 14 years since I met my DH, working in an ad agency in San Francisco.
It's a surprise. I have no idea where it is or what we're doing. All I've been told is to arrange a babysitter, wear a dress and put these on. I love these.

Then, show up at a specific bar in Harvard Square at 7pm.Can I wear my hat, you think?

PS. Who's going to Stitches on Sat? I'm so bummed to have missed so many of you at Rhinebeck, and I'm going for the full 2-festival experience here --
I'd love to really find you in Hartford this weekend, :-)
