Sunday Morning

David left for Hong Kong again this morning, so I find this photo especially bittersweet.

Two weeks at least, probably three.  It doesn’t get any easier with practice, I must say.

I had a bit of a sniffle by myself while the girls were distracted with their Halloween party candy, then Laura asked me, "Why are you dressing all up in your Handsome Sweetie-Pie Vest?"  I had to laugh.  Should I call Meg Swansen and let her know the Ribwarmer has been renamed?

I find that the collar looks pretty good standing up, but even better folded down as a shawl collar.

And here in the always-risky over-the-shoulder-into-the-bathroom-mirror shot,

Note to self, more yoga, I can’t take a picture of my own back yet!

    ahh, so that’s how the rib warmer looks like when worn. Very unusual construction. Your mirror shots came out so good. I have never managed to take a single good mirror photo. Hope you are feeling better already 🙂

    Erin, it doesn’t really look like much on a hanger, does it. But it’s actually quite handsome on a person. It had occurred to me while knitting that I could also make both sides at once, with separate balls of yarn, making an intarsia-like “seam” at the back — I’ve now found that this is not a new idea, so I guess there are lots of people like me who hate sewing up! (I will also try blocking the collar down, as it tends to creep upright throughout the day.)

    I hadn’t come across the Ribwarmer before – you’re right, it looks like far more on than lying flat. Beautiful piece of knitting.
