Throw Your Hands Up inthe AIR

Imagine having a day so rushed and out-of-control, you flag down a Police Vehicle in the mistaken impression it is the CAB YOU NEED! Imagine having a day so cruising down the Giant Slalom of Life missing a ski you have no make-up on, even though, at the minimum, by the time you hit Chicago Ave. at least a little mascara has landed on your lashes because, after all, definition is a MUST – Lip Liner or Bust…

But you have none of that this day.

You DO have 4-day-old Hair that is letting you down now that you know

THIS will be the Day that one of your dreams might come true…

This will be the day you get to go stand on a stool for 90 minutes above a crowd of 3000 people waiting for HER to arrive, chatting it up with HER personal sound guy who is spinning off a playlist using the same iPod you have, who slips you an audio line directly off his box. Oh, did you mentions SHE is the CKS House Diva? You do a happy Dance, never leaving the stool, even though by this time your right foot is totally asleep…

YOU do a Happy Hat Dance and go F*it and put on your HAT! By gum, that hat has more color than will ever be ALLOWED in your Makeup Palette and even your hair can pretend to look normal when it’s actually under something…

And funny thing is – SHE didn’t mind at all…

As if! – like she could see ANYTHING beyond the thousands
of flashes going OFF! Hi, Jamie!!!

Just in time for the flirtatious atmosphere of (tickle me WARM tickle me COLD) November – the Green Cotton Ribby finally hits the Runway!

Ribbing just in the middle of both the arms and body sections makes a more relaxed shape – really cool if the cling don’t mean a thing in your world… I think I’m going to run some more brown stripes up the ribs closest to the zipper for a little sporting amusement…

ZIPPER? My original plan was for a button band – I made a vertical one and didn’t do the right size buttonholes for the buttons I was planning on using so Off with Its Thread! and on with a Zipper – which I prefer – I am wearing this to work in and it behaves much better for my purposes with that closure’s flexibility. To get the button bands off, I also had to frog the collar I had on it – which I wasn’t totally in love with… I AM in Love with this mock turtle tipped in Brown – which I then added to the edges of the sleeves in a wider band. They are now quite long, but I think I’ll get over it :)

And because I just can’t seem to leave a pattern or yarn in its original state (yes! even my own designs), I overdyed the entire thing (pre-brown yarn & zipper) in a frenzy during the World Series Playoff with a load of Procion MX dye in Bright Green. NOW it’s exactly the shade of my very favorite T-shirt and Heaven Help the Mister that sits between me and my Ribster on the #66 – shades not included…
