Sometimes it just comes together and I love it. A variety of scraps that are turning into a hat I want to keep and not donate.

A friend gave me a scarf in progress. I couldn’t finish it because she knits tight and I knit loose. So I took it out and went up several needle sizes and made a drapey cowl instead.

On the subject of Much Ado About Nothing, I did recently(ish) write an essay about it and why it's one of my favorite films to watch:

Low-rise jeans have to be styled differently. There are many groups who have worn them stylishly in the past, so you have to find the original images to understand their cultural language. Those groups don't include people who wear classically cut sport coats.
