day 69 of tracywearswool: start wearing purple

tracywearswool day 69 out of 100 — And today was like Christmas!!

I got to Portland and there were two packages. The larger was sent by my Sister in the Wool, Lois Ann. She was destashing her clothes, and would I be interested in some of the Items. YES I WOULD!!

And here is what she sent:

A cotton kimono from when she and her daughter were in a production of Mikado, a linen apron, some socks, and the best selection of tights that I could ever ask for!! Holy Moses!! So much fun.

For those of you new to this blog …I am involved in a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool& — Same dress. 100 days. (And yes, you can wash it!) Part of my reasons for deciding to do this was to simplify my life, especially with my lifestyle.

It also dawned on me, that while I have cleverly titled all my posts for songs I love, I have been cheating you all out of actually hearing the song. So I give you…

What’s in store today:

In Portland now — waiting for the cold weather to start — supposed to be in the 30s tomorrow — but I will be super snuggly in my new tights!!

Still working on my hat…. going to make it a super-slouchie version! Sign up on my mailing list for GYPSYWAGONKNITS and I’ll notify you when it comes out.

Such Great Tights, feel like thick 100% cotton! I’ll have to ask because the tag is missing

Watch is Timex Weekender — CLASSIC!

REI fleece zip-up has seen a lot of wear, but still washed up nicely and doesn’t get too pill-y.

I think these are my favorite… but she sent along about 6 pairs, some solid, and some with fabulous stripes. You will be seeing all of them in the coming days, I am sure!!

Hat progress…. hope to finish tomorrow, and get it off. Still haven’t come up with a design name….

Oh… and the other package — seems that I ordered a Sierra the same time I ordered my Rowena. Thought I cancelled it… but am super glad I didn’t!!

Thanks for joining me on day 68 of tracywearswool.

Stay t9ned for the next 33 days!

Be well, and get out there and Start Wearing Purple!
