Happy New Year everyone ...

I hope everyone had a great time celebrating.  after getting dissed in the most wonderful way new year's eve by a "friend" who shall remain nameless (although why i'm protecting her identity i don't know since .. 1. she doesn't read this blog; 2.  no one *here* knows her and 3.  she's not a knitter  ...) j and i ended up ordering chinese food at the last minute and i was in bed by 9pm.  i even missed dick clark.  i hear he didn't look or sound so good.  so sad.  see, i'm old enough to remember american bandstand  (i was very small) but i do remember.

but anyway -- no biggie.  although it's the last time i turn down the invitation of a knitter for new years because of loyalty to a non-knitter who invited me first.  just saying -- call it a new years resolution.  there.

anyway, back to the original point of this post.  a couple of weeks ago, colleen blogged about some artyarns legend that she was using to make a hat ... or trying at least.  i mentioned that i thought it was rather nice (which now after re-reading her post means that she thinks that my taste in colors and yarn sucks ASS.  hmmm ok whatever, fine.  )  anyway, maybe because she knew i would give this poor unloved yarn a good home, she sent it to me!

and i knitted it up.

i see her point, with her cool coloring (she's got the prettiest fair skin and blue eyes) this "cacophony" wouldn't do her justice ...

but i think it works for me. 

thanks colleen!
