stripey "MoMA" wrapping paper footstool
yeah baby! it's finished. after two and a half years of being just a piece of wrapping paper, we have a little footstool. grosgrain ribbon finishing keeps the stress off the knitted fabric. here it is, in a favorite corner (photo taken from ludovine's backside).
for any who wonder, "fake manos" (i feel it is rather insulting to call EVERYTHING made in uruguay that isn't manos "fake manos") that you can buy on ebay is really, really nice. softer than manos. and cheaper. and really, really nice.
and for any who wonder, yes, the unevenness of the striping is on purpose. just like in the wrapping paper. it takes the museum of modern art to make uneven striping okay for the public. they say it's okay. i take their lead.
