Feel the Noise







My mama made me a cowl scarf! I simply flipped for Yokoo's designs, but in all respect for her, I do not have $120 for a scarf. I do not have $20 for a scarf. A cappuccino from Starbucks is my big treat these days. (thank you, economic downturn and ruinous, red tooth and claw American job market!) The yarn set me back about six dollars, and the labour was free because it was a labor of loooove. Aww. As Alabama has been getting in fact, colder, I've been living in it.

I know I need to do my Q&A and answer a TON of emails, which I promise to do once my professors lay off this insufferable "homework" that they insist upon....I'm not even voting age yet...

Chunky knits are gorgeous; it looks so cosy. I tried once, and ended up nearly poking my eye out, somehow, with a knitting needle. I don't know how it happened other than through some freak accident involving cheap yarn... never again.

LOVE the scarf!! your mom should start selling them (as long as they're more reasonably priced than Yokoos - her designs are fabulous but I too cannot afford them!)
