He is so cute. Haircut and all. I found a lollipop useful for haircuts for toddlers. (Or maybe just heard about it later and wished I'd thought of it?) LOVE your vest, you are very clever. When you mentioned about the cowl I wondered ... and yes, it is the same cowl I'm in the middle of knitting. Oh so easy, my first circular knitting project and I wanted to keep knitting and knitting but have had to give it up for now due to sore neck/shoulders. No fun. I'm just using a cheap acrylic because wool makes me itch, but it's a lovely cherry red - yours would be amazing in that yarn. If my muscles improve I want to make that cowl again and again, it's the most relaxing knitting I've ever done.Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03564174820915401323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6004458534993714527.post-2041304440004582042014-05-24T13:31:02.388+10:002014-05-24T13:31:02.388+10:00Oh I was going to ask about the haircut, haha!

I try cutting my kids hair too (sometimes) - the trick though is not to try and cut straight across, but to kind of snip up into the hair. Is that confusing? I'm sure there'd be tutorials in youtube...Bridie @ Miss And Mistershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999989622739733109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6004458534993714527.post-65255009833526037962014-05-23T19:40:34.252+10:002014-05-23T19:40:34.252+10:00Love the new do ... reminds me of cutting my eldes...Love the new do ... reminds me of cutting my eldest boys hair ... he was terrified of going to the hairdresser so I had to cut his hair until he was about three ... it looked like I used a bowl ... memories!
