You could also maybe just switch to knitting nothing but cashmere, but a little of that Neutrogena is probably cheaper ;)Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16248214550905214005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12385099.post-1136967190526961412006-01-11T00:13:00.000-08:002006-01-11T00:13:00.000-08:00It does look good.

I'm often surprised by what colors can end up looking good together. <BR/><BR/>Salad Dressing: I can't remember the brand, but I used to love a Raspberry Vinaigrette I got at Whole Foods back when I lived near one. Around here, we usually just make our own dressing. It ends up being a mustard vinaigrette. Either put whole grain mustard or dijon in with some wine vinegar and salt and pepper. Mix up really well. Then, add some olive and mix again. Very tasty. <BR/><BR/>Hands: Neutragena makes a great hand cream. It's actually clear like a gel. Ask Dis about the brand name (can't remember at the moment), because her B swears by it.The Stitchin' Sheephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03790044606072702756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12385099.post-1136955486064398652006-01-10T20:58:00.000-08:002006-01-10T20:58:00.000-08:00I agree with Julia about Annies's Naturals.

Mix in some honey and lemon. Simple and I like it. I also like your sweater. The color is fun. Wish I could've seen you while I was at home.

Do you have some intense lotion (like Burt's Bees Hand Salve or something like that) that you can put on your fingertips before you go to bed for a while?<BR/><BR/>Salad dressing - Seeds of Change French Tomato Vinaigerette has been my favorite for the last several years.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12959009113795804133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12385099.post-1136918453920007922006-01-10T10:40:00.000-08:002006-01-10T10:40:00.000-08:00Being in the same boat as you -- getting rid of th...Being in the same boat as you -- getting rid of the Christmas pudge -- I can second the Annie's salad dressing as a tasty choice. My favorite is the low fat raspberry vinaigrette. A bowl of spinach, a couple dollops of goat cheese [your biggest bang for the calorie buck cheese-wise], maybe a few cranraisins and/or a few nuts and some of that dressing and it's heaven!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16029568021356495296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12385099.post-1136916930653655632006-01-10T10:15:00.000-08:002006-01-10T10:15:00.000-08:00Personally, I love that colorway.

When we were in Cleveland for our girls' weekend I bought out the Moorland and my best friend bought out the Autumn, relieving me of the burden of spending even more of my hard-earned cash. I think you'll wear it, and if you don't you have a friend who will!<BR/><BR/>Salad dressing - we like Annie's Naturals and Trader Joes - they both have good Shitake Sesame and Balsalmic lines. Also, you may want to make your own. I do an occasional orange or lemon vinegarette with red wine vinegar, olive oil and salt and pepper. Homemade is divine and not to difficult. You can make it on Sunday and it keeps for a few weeks. I'm also a fan of "macho" salads - filled with fruits, nuts and cheeses. If your body thinks you're starving it will hold onto fat. Be sure not to go into the realm of deprivation!Julia (MindofWinter)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17921553069752206475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12385099.post-1136913623228020112006-01-10T09:20:00.000-08:002006-01-10T09:20:00.000-08:00I think it is knitting up cute - the colors are co...I think it is knitting up cute - the colors are coming out fairly balanced, too. Beside I keep picturing the end product, which I think would look really cute on you.Disentangledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07857723058144849718noreply@blogger.com
