Pin-Striped Sweater Tee – Page 2

I am dizzy… dizzied… committed to a state of dizziness.

I am whirling with yarn vertigo, bewildered, confused about the real world, heedless of responsibility, an obsessive and foolish knitter. Why I want to knit & write a pattern for this pin-stripey tee escapes me. What… why… would anybody want to wander into this maze of madness ? ( A pattern??? Well, we’ll see if I live to write one ! ) Those friends who may wonder through what crack I have fallen, in what woods I may be lost and disoriented, I have not forgotten you. I am hopelessly tangled up in endless labyrinth of tiny stripes since early last December. I hope to find my way out, and be back in the world by this time next week ~~~ a goal ! From inside of my knitterly fishbowl, I wave.

This Spring’s sweater tees are once again a success and my nieces made them into a photo sensation !!! Chasing the bright morning light around the town of Calistoga, we sought out our favorite spots. The corner of Lincoln and Washington streets, with the intriguing minty blue-green building which is Bella Tootsie Shoe Shop, and our ‘cover photo’ signature most every time.

A close-up of one of the sweater tee detail, lighting just right so that you can see the single-row pin-striping of two colors alternating, and the raglan decreases through the ribbed neck band, with cord bind-off …

Such fine pin-stripes of light green & light blue, and light purple & smokey grey aren’t even visible unless one is up-close. Even just a couple of feet away, the colors melt into one another, creating a perfect blend , as these two sisters do . . .

The mural off of Lincoln Street is our essential destination in every photo shoot !

We enjoyed just hanging about in town too, always bustling with folk from the whole Napa Valley and beyond . . .

There was the mandatory ice-cream ~ raspberry sorbet & strawberry cheesecake ~ which is always the last shot I get before the camera protests with no memory left !
