Thorpe! (365.2.30)

the background in my shots is the junk in the yard. i'm classy
This is somebody's corrugated plastic fence, 'cause the neighbourhood is classy like that.
it's a great color. we need a new fence. i wonder if joe would go for this.
Don't show it to Mark or we might end up with that.

It sort of looks like a helmet on me. I should have gone with a chunkier weight yarn to counteract that, but at least my ears will be warm. If I’d had more yarn I would have made a few more increases than I did too. As it was I was short by about a foot of the charcoal grey.

Oh good lord no. It makes it look like a bonnet or something. I liken it to how you'd never cinch up the straps on a cowboy hat unless you're riding across the plains escaping the sheriff.

You know, it looks more helmet-y in person. It looks normal in the photo. Regardless, I still want to knit one.

Yeah, I chose the photo where it is least helmet-like. I'll upload some of the others later on tonight.
