In Real Life

 Iris asked to see the pin loom triangle hat in real life, so here it is from this morning:

We were heading to Aldi to do our weekly shop, thus the mask. And I am experiencing my usual summer poor sleep and other crud, thus the numerous layers of bags underneath my eyes! In real life for sure!

I hope it's a nice day in your part of the world.

The hood looks great, dear Shari!
I am very sorry that you can sleep so badly...
All the best from Austria

Thank you, Traude!

I'm used to the poor sleep. I don't care for it, but it's usual at this time of year. Summer and I don't get along well ;-)

Love the hat! I wish I'd have let my mom teach me to make stuff, she was the craftiest person I've ever known.

Shari Burke said...

Thanks, Vicki!

The pin looms are fun and not complicated. One can get fancy with designs, but I enjoy the plain weave with the colour changing yarns. I never know how the colours will play together 🙂🧶

Very fun hat Shari. Well done.

I tried to track down the town that you did not like living in but had a hard time. I gathered it was in Oregon though. I'd love to know where and why. I am relocating up there from Southern California (which I love) and want to know everything I can.

Shari Burke said...

Thanks, Linda!

Yes, I am happy to share my thoughts on Oregon. It really is like two different states. Would you feel comfortable with email? My email is: shariannburke AT gmail.com (you know, @ for AT and no spaces :-)

If you want to send me an email there, I can reply directly to you or, if that's not cool with you, I can reply here. Either way, I look forward to hearing from you!

I know this is a tough move/situation for you and I truly hope you will find a place you love and are happy in!

Very cool (sorry I´m late!!!).
Thank you for sharing - weee. sorry for not sleeping well.
It´s still way too cold here! And dark, you´d like our weather....

I think we were having similar temps to you and I was so grateful! :-) Now it's inching up and will be 17-ish for at least a couple days, with sun. That's too much for me. But then I always have the same issues for 6 months of the year, so I am used to it, even though I don't like it! Less than a month to solstice and then a bit less daylight each day! Whoopie!
