Yarnhead

I went to get my haircolor freshened up today, and did what I'd promised Rachael, Em, and Iris I would do. I handed my stylist this as an explanation of what I wanted. I found it at Downtown Yarns during our yarn crawl last week. And you know what? She did brilliantly. Last time she did a great job with two shades of violet red, but with the yarn in front of her today she really outdid herself. I now have hair that contains my favorite colors for yarn. You may or may not be able to spy in this photo (let's see how good your monitor really is!) a true primary red, a bright orange, and a warmer violet red. Sadly, red dye fades fast and I'll only be able to enjoy this intensity for a few weeks before it becomes more muted. Sigh. I have yarn hair. I'm ridiculously pleased with myself.

So Cute! I think you have most excellent yarn hair. Come to think of it, my favorite color hair was always a bluey purple and so is my favorite color yarn...

Yarn hair! I love it. Flaming red/orange hair has always been on the top of my These Are A Few of My Favorite Things list.

Now you've got to get a picture of yourself knitting in those colors. Your tresses are sprightly and gorgeous.

Beautiful! And my spouse wandered by and looked at the picture on screen, then did a double take and said "Oh, I thought that was yarn. Wait it is, or..." So I showed him the yarn on screen too. It looks great. I bet you turn a lot of heads.

And to think...all of my friends said I was loopy when I said I was going to take a skein of Jamieson Shetland's Sunrise to a colorist and say "make me that"! LOVE the hair...now I'm jealous
