Love me some orange!

Two things making me smile today:

First, a big, fat squishy orange cowl I just finished. Bulky yarn plus big needles made this a super-fast knit. I used Brown Sheep Burly spun, which is a loft single ply, so it'll likely pill up like crazy, but who cares. There's enough yarn left for me to knit a second cowl. It's a little less neon in real life. :)

Second, I'm really happy with my recent hair experiment (yes, she's going to talk about her hair again!). I've given up shampoo, which kinda creeps out my hubby, but there's no smell/residue so we're both happy. It's been about 2 weeks since I've gone over to the Curly Girl method, and my curls seem much healthier and less frizzy. And that makes me smile!
