calling all handcrafters!

I came across this great website on a list-serve I'm on - knittingforthedisplaced.com. It's a woman from Pennsylvania who came up with this idea of knitting wearables for the Katrina folks who've been dumped up North and don't have any idea what to expect from a real winter. I figured, hey this would be an easy way to help out with all this craziness, and it's small enough to jam in my bag and have with me at school. win-win! so get out your cute scrap yarns and knit up some hats and scarves for these people! they're gonna freeze their butts off! her site lists details on how to get her the stuff, what she does with it once she gets it, some sample patterns for ideas, and updates on how the project's going. check it out!

Vanity is a Cruel Mistress

Ok, the weirdest thing happened to me on wednesday. I had GREAT hair, perfect hair. People were looking at me confused, asking what I had done differently, and they were hard pressed to hide their surprise at how fricking incredible my head looked! It was disarming at first, then just downright annoying. I knew that whatever grooming miracle that had taken place that morning would NEVER, EVER happen again and I was doomed to return to messy bessy-ness the next day.
