Dream, Grrl

By

I knit myself a Dream Swatch Head Scarf from one skein of Lana Grossa New Cotton. I think I kind of like it and it must be cool because Hannah wants one.



click ’em and they’ll get bigger

Dale says Mod Squad. I say Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves. What do you say?

  1. Ooh… definitely a hip mom now! And, it’s Mod-Squad… which is why it’s oh, so “now” right now. 🙂 How’s the cotton? I would think you’d want a wee bit of stretch in that kind of thing…

  2. Ha! Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves!!! Now I’ll be singing that song all day!
    I think it is a bit retro and cool! You look great!

  4. I’m thinking it’s kind of “These Boots are Made for Walkin'” Nancy Sinatra in the 60’s kind of cool. It looks great on you and it’s going on my to do list.

  11. I say Gypsies Tramps and Thieves….but oh my….The Mod Squad, what a blast from the past..haha! I LOVED that show when I was young!

  14. I’m just thinking it’s too darn cute to make any 60s or 70s references! And the fact than Hannah wants one – well, that just speaks 00s to me! Beautiful!

  17. I’m not sure. I keep waffling about which one it is. But, I am sure that I really like it and that it looks great on you!

  21. I like it, however you categorize it. My hair isn’t long enough to make this work for me, though. Wonder if my daughter would be interested?

  23. I really wish I looked cute in something like that!

    I say gypsy, tramps and thieves. I think that your earrings need to be a tad bit bigger :D.

    All you need now is a Bohemian skirt and flip flops and you can dance around in the yard! I’m sure the neighbors won’t say anything.

  24. I’m with Dale on this one, definitely Mod Squad. (I had such a crush on Pete.) For the gypsies, tramps and thieves look you should have added beads or fringe. Cher was definitely into fringe and sparkly bits.

  30. Mod Squad? What’s he smoking? It’s not quite gypsies, tramps, and thieves, though; I think for that it needs to be in some shade of red. I’m thinking Seventeen circa 1965, Beach Boys, Endless Summer…

  31. it’s totally gypsies tramps and thieves except that cher would have worn it as a top.

    i love it and have thought about making it. you know, as a top.

  33. Very cool!

    I’ve been meaning to knit one of those, but can’t decide on a fiber luxurious enough. Must ponder further…

  37. Now I have that song stuck in my head. I’m not sure who is right since I never saw the Mod Squad, but I think it’s too cute!

  40. Great scarf! I say “Gypsies, Tramps, & Thieves!”…

    BTW, meant to comment yesterday – but the rain storm got me off line…your granddaughter is so cute! She sure is the apple of Dale’s eye!!! She’s gonna be a knockout when she gets older…you better prepare Mom and Dad on how to chase the boys away!!!

  44. You put one more Sonny and/or Cher song into my head, girlie, and your name is mud. (Yes, it looks great. Still.)

  45. “Green, green, it’s green they say on the far side of the hill. Green, green, I’m goin’ away to where the grass is greener still”

  46. Cool! I’m with Karen though, add some GO-GO Boots and you’ve totally got the Nancy Sinatra thang goin on. “Ready boots? Start walkin’!”

    Maren saw it and now it’s “ooooohh MOM! Make me one of THOSE! Puhleeeease!!” 🙂

  47. I’m with you, gypsies tramps and thieves. But, hey, if he thinks it’s mod, who is to argue? Is that you in the pics? I can’t believe you are a grandmother!
