Since It Came Up: Ray In The Stash-B-Gone Stockingcap Scarf
not only did i refer to this in the post about my sister's scarf yesterday, but i spoke to ray yesterday, who remarked that while she loved it, the weight of the scarf tended to pull the hat right off her head. not the perfect balance between concept and function. i frequently find myself making such choices (and seem often to side with "concept". maybe i should try going the other way more often.) this photo was taken in manhattan in june of 2001, at the council of literary magazines and presses literary magazine fair, where i had to speak on a panel sharing a mike with george plimpton, who had a neat wristwatch. ray came all the way out from brooklyn, on rollerblades, to support me! that's why i make her impractical knitware.
