Lost & found

I almost lost my newest F.O. while shopping yesterday. It's 2 days old! (it is the Floating Spiral Hat from Interweave Knits, Winter 2009...and I feel kind of slick having pulled it off in Vanna's Choice in this colorway I really like!) So I normally shove hats in my coat pockets, and this one is bulkier than my other hats. Fortunately I had thought that would be a concern with this had and I kept checking I had everything. Right before I went in the dressing room I did not, so I went back to the dress racks and found it waiting for me on the floor! Yay! I amazingly (knock on wood or something) have a really good track record with not loosing anything that I've knit so far. I'm really not sure how that is possible considering I'm good at losing things.

I bought myself a dress, rationalizing that in black and blue with a lovely print not only is it the perfect dress, but I will wear it for Chuck's graduation coming up in May. And the shirt pictured, except in a muted pink called "powderpuff" neither were very expensive, yay Nordstrom Rack. A place where I find lost hats promptly and also pretty and cheap clothes.
