Sweetie and I were in no mood to go out for New Year’s Eve last night, so we opted to stay in, give the apartment some much-needed TLC, have a great dinner (made by Sweetie, of course), and sit back for the Big Bang Theory marathon on TV. It was great, and I think we were in bed by about 10:30.
Watching so much Big Bang Theory reminded me of a finished project that I hadn’t gotten around to posting about yet.
This is my Sheldon cowl, and I think it’s wonderful in a totally dorky kind of way. Equally dorky is the fact that my friend KG has a matching cowl and I’ve definitely texted her when I’m wearing this cowl and know I’ll be seeing her to “call” it for the day.

P.S. The suave tourist-trap t-shirt salesman that sold this shirt to me was definitely hitting on me. This married lady’s still got it!

LOVE the shirt.
(Oh, and the cowl of course!)
Love the cowl! And I can’t believe there is a yarn called Bazinga!!! lol
My friend and I are huge BBT fans and also knitters. I have to show her this!
