Almost forgot to do this Rolling Eyes

Kolsva in Noro Kochoran #14 from Noro Knits I think. A very quick knit and I was pleased with how I adapted the neck from a cowl as in the pattern to a scoop. Much more me Wink

That is beautiful Ali...I really want to knit myself something in Noro!!! Smile

And yes, you do have beautiful hair....I'm considering a perm in the New Year....why does that word always make me think of Kevin Keegan and bad curly hair!! Laughing

I just hope I don't end up looking like my Mum! Smile

Thanks!!! I love the Kochoran - it's just GORGEOUS to knit with and very cosy - and WARM - to wear. I think I used 4 hanks for a 34" so one of the cheaper Noro knits cos they're a bit pricey Confused

Yes n that IS my real hair Laughing

It's naturally wavy but I scrunch it as I dry it with a diffuser and it curls up like that. I've never coloured it and tho it's going grey now I think I'm just going to see how it goes naturally Wink

I just pretend it looks like blonde highlights Laughing

Wow...my hair has a wave and I just blow dry it straight....might try using the diffuser and scrunching again before trying a perm! Laughing

That's what I used to do - I have pics of me at 20 with hair down to my bum with it looking dead straight!! Get a good big diffuser and just use something to give it a bit of body - I've got a confixor - and just stuff it in the diffuser in sections - as much as you can stuff in - on low/warm. And bob's your uncle Laughing

I remember that jumper Ali - lovely Very Happy

And your lovely hair too.

Mine is poker straight. I've had the same bob hairstyle for about 40 years apart from a couple of disastrous perms Rolling Eyes

It simply wont do anything else Confused
