Shorn
I’ve been meaning to get a short haircut for a long time, and the Katies in my life finally pushed me over the edge. First I met Katrin/Katie, who is now my regular companion for Sunday knitting lunches in downtown Portland. She has an enviable short haircut that I’ve been coveting since my first visits to her blog last summer. Then Spider Katie withstood a total makeover in front of two hundred people, and I knew it was time to pull up my big-girl pants and go pixie. I felt a twinge of empathy for the sheep we knitters so merrily denude as I watched sheaves of my hair slide down the black robe into my lap. Then I was worried that I look exactly like my brother (not that that’s a bad thing – my brother’s a good-looking dude – but I wasn’t sure I wanted to look like a dude). But ultimately, I like it very much. I’ll let you judge:
Yes, I’m a lamentable Pollyanna and I really do smile that much in pictures, and also in my unphotographed life, but Mr. Garter was making me laugh. And it’s only fair to post some goofy pictures of myself after plastering his silliness all over the blog last week.
Next time, back to the knitting content. I promise.

Absolutely adorable! I’d love to “go pixie” but being a bit on the plump side I’d probably look like the little fairy godmothers on Cinderella as opposed to a darling little Tinkerbell. Ah, such is life. At least I have my knitting! Glad there are bloggers out there who look divine in pixie cuts and I can oogle and be jealous.

It’s an adorable cut on you, don’t think you need to worry about looking like a boy at all!

Aw, look at how cute you are!

Oh, that first day of a new haircut can be so weird. I definitely know that “I look like…” thought. Me, I need a haircut, but I also feel like my hair looks healthy, buoyant *and* semi-long for the first time ever. Usually I just end up looking like a hippie / my mom with long hair.
Oh anyway, your haircut is great! What I’m trying to say is, you’re inspiring me to think I should go get mine done.

Oh my gosh, you look so cute! I have always wished for that kind of style. I won’t be one of the Katies with a pixie, though. I just can’t carry it off.

It looks so chic and fun on you! Nice makeover, and a good look for spring! (I like your shirt too)

It really looks super cute. You definitely pull it off well.

You look so cute! The smile is perfect for the pixie or is it the pixie matches your smile?!

That cut is so friggin’ cute. It’s all I can do not to get a pixie of my own (but I know that once it goes it’s not coming back–don’t know if I’m ready for that yet).

Very cute haircut! And you look nothing like a dude, even an attractive one. You look like a very cute girl with a cute ‘do. And what an infectous smile. Thanks for braving it and posting the goofy fotos!

This Katy can’t do a pixie cut either, though she’s always wanted one–stoopit bushy hair. It’s perfect on you–I’m jealous!
