February 8

yesterday it was really nice out so we went for a walk for like three hours with no coats. it was a little chilly and i couldn’t feel my fingers sometimes, but it was still nice to get outside in the sunshine. today it’s a completely different story. there’s snow everywhere and they skies are grey. it’s pretty crazy how it could go from looking like it did in these pictures to being a blizzard in a day.

POLYVORE

i’ve been reunited with a site i like called polyvore. i’m sure it’s old news by now, but i made a new account and i’ve been making outfits constantly. i’ve had kind of a falling out with fashion since our malls suck and i don’t really go clothes shopping at all, so it’s nice to play around with different styles using virtual clothes, lol. i would definitely wear the 1st, 2nd, and 4th all of the time if i had these access to these clothes. do you use polyvore? feel free to add me : )

Neon Snow Hat

i knit this hat a few weeks ago with super bright and super soft neon reddish-orange yarn that i got sometime last year. it’s neat yarn because it’s store bought acrylic, but it looks handspun wool (which is something i’m allergic to). i knit this in an hour or two on dan’s bed while watching what not to wear. the design was based off of A Beautiful Mess’ Snow Day Hat. next time i make one of these (this is my second. first can be seen here), i want to get some chunky yarn in a more mellow colour and definitely knit it with my 10mm needles, like i did with this one. i also want to get a pompom maker!
