It turned out to be a nice, if a bit windy, afternoon here once more. The girls continue to amaze me at how well they can play in the yard together, and despite my trepidation I set up my lawn chairs and got to winding. Then, in we came and while Sophie napped and Julie watched her video I got my color card all sorted out and wound the rest up into two balls for some toe-up socks.
The colors look better than I expected, even though a few – like one of the yellows – got a tiny bit muddied from its darker neighbor in the rinse. I’m actually looking forward to seeing how the socks knit up – I think they’ll be cute!
Speaking of cute, Sophie got a hair cut today. All that thick luxurious hair she had for her first year is finally falling out, and new puppy fuzz is growing in underneath. The topknot, while necessary to keep the long strands out of her face, looked like a combover because it was so thin. A nice little bob was in order, and it looks much healthier.
It’s eerie, though. She looks *just* like Julie at that age now.
Okay, not exactly. Julie has rounder eyes and a smile more like mine. Still, it was like deja vu watching Sophie this afternoon.
Today was free cone day at Ben and Jerry’s, so the girls and I went and had a treat after lunch. Julie doesn’t get ice cream very often, so it was quite the treat. This was only Sophie’s second taste of it, and she liked it but was not over the top.
LOVE Sophie’s chic bob! Cute!
Her new haircut makes her look so big! Everyone always tells me how much my boys look alike, but I always have to step back and look at them fresh to admit it.
Sophie looks so sweet with her new haircut. The yarn looks fabulous…I can’t wait to see what the socks look like!
Mama, you really need to wear some eye-makeup! Sue
Sophie looks so cute!! That yarn is beautiful! I can’t wait to see it knit up into a sock! Good job, Shelly! I started my own blankie on Sunday and I am having so much fun!!
