When I finished this I didn't think I was going to actually wear it, but I have, and I like it. It doesn't show too well in the picture but the pin that Skunk made is holding it together at the top, and makes it great. Sometimes I think the things that I like to knit control my fashion sense. Last week I was in Target (I know right?) and I saw these chunky knit arm warmers. I remember when "mitts" seemed like something that knitters wore because they were fun to knit and no one else understood how great they were. I think knitters exert an "under the radar" sort of power that is largely unrecognized. I think we are responsible for bringing back: legwarmers, ponchos(sorry), mitts, shrugs, etc.
We have a big responsibility for protecting the world from unfortunate trends. Only you can protect this country from shoulder pads, over sized eighties sweaters and painful color combinations. Remember, this holiday season, knit responsibly and consider the repercussions.
