Kathy s WLS Journey - Hair Nightmare

Omg that's adorable! You do beautiful work!

I saw this hat and I had to have it. After I finish socks for my surgeon, it's next on the list.

Thanks kitmouse,

I am trying to be daring in my knitting. Have not tackled a sweater successfully and working on my first shawl. I love those but the patterns require great focus and it's a challenge

I made this hat last fall and love it. Search for Cloche knitted hats free patterns they are so cute! You will love them!

Omg that's cute, I love the contrast color! And the variable texture...I wonder how that would do with a lace? What weight is that?

I think I have some yarn left over...when you get off work I will dig in my yarn cabinet and let you know

PS... you have my admiration as socks and me don't get along. I tried knitting one pair and one of them came out looking like it was for someone that had a club foot. It was hilarious

For some reason knitting makes sense to me. I started a lace shawl I month after I first learned to knit (about 21 months ago). A month after that I did my first socks, and socks have been my go-to project ever since. I still haven't tried sweaters, but I have the exact pattern and 1800 yards of Baah La Jolla in blue topaz just waiting for it to be properly sized to a smaller body!

Oh and btw, Kathy--if you make this hat I totally expect to see a picture. In fact I'll probably be wearing mine at the conference. That's how you'll know I'm me!

(The pattern is from ravelry. I'm erinmouse if you want to add me.)

I love these older posts....made me flashback to my teenage years when a hairdresser permed my hair and cut it SHORT. But clearly not short enough because I had poofy, frizzy hair for a year. I also tried to slick it back but in the 80's it was so uncool to not have big bangs.

I have thin hair but a lot of it. Somehow, between the time I was put into menopause 6 years ago and my surgery 3 months ago, my hair turned curly. Finally the hair I always wanted and it's falling out in clumps. Hopefully this will slow and stop in the future. It could always be worse...

Hi Beth,

Congratulations on your surgery. Give it a least a year after you reach goal it will get better.
