Today was a quiet sunny day full of dog events. I gave him a bath. He chased lizards. I cleaned up the hair blowout after his brush and blow dry. He chased lizards. I washed the towels and his blankie, and did a ton of other laundry. He chased lizards.
But did I take pictures? I did.
Hat three will join one and two. All are the easily memorized Cottage Creations ribbed hat pattern, and it has a deep, doubled brim to allow for variations in head size and also doubled yarn ear coverage. I am all about the ear coverage, because I have very sensitive ears and they freeze if it gets below 50. Mongolian temps strike terror in my heart. Three will be a More Boyish Hat - teal and wine and deep green and black on the brim, a black crown. Not that I am trying to assign gender to colors, and I don't know the cultural assignments of colors in Mongolia. I figure a mix of neutrals and brights and pastels is fair enough.
And while I worked on hat three, Murphy chased lizards.
This is mostly what lizard chasing looks like - he patrols likely lizard places - the jasmine, the rest of the fence, the scruffy garden area near the patio - and watches intently for signs of Lizard. Then he chases it for ten seconds. It gets away, he stops, and resumes a new position to watch for another one. And he does this until his tongue is hanging to his knees and I make him come in.
Job interview Tuesday. Do I know what I am wearing? No.
I must tell you, you are my favorite blog. I like that it isn't all knitting all the time. I wish you well on your job interview. Wear something classic, but comfortable. You'll be great.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I have decided on my favorite knit top and old standby black skirt. And I can't write about knitting all the time! "Today I did four rows on a hat...." Today I did four rows on a hat...." repeat....
ReplyDeleteOkay, I know you have a life outside of your blog (and thanks for your posts about so many different aspects of your life), but I am waiting waiting waiting to hear about the job interview. :-)
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love going on an interview when you don't *need* the job? It's more like YOU are interviewing THEM!
Best wishes.
