Winter wardrobe

I just ordered my fall/winter wardrobe:

  • Two pairs of black slacks
  • Two black ribbed turtlenecks
  • One black boiled wool jacket
  • Three black undergarments

And, in a mad splurge, one more boiled wool jacket, in a color called "mallard."

Color is for shawls, scarves, and jewelry. And the occasional jacket.

The slacks will have to be hemmed. At 5'8" I'm just a skootch too tall for "regular" but a little short for "tall." I still have some black slacks and turtlenecks from last year that haven't faded to grey too terribly.

Now all I need is a pair of dressy black flats.

Feather and fan

I'd been fooling around with knitting a bit in the past couple of weeks. I find I have enough crap yarn in pale blue to make a little lap robe. So I turned to my Big Book o' Ripple Stitch patterns.
