I was working on illustrations for Marilyn last night and ran across this doodle. I don't have time to re-work it into a finished state but maybe it'll give you a giggle.
State of the Ruana
It's on schedule and approaching completion. And I like it. The first real try-on took place yesterday at the office, thanks to a coworker who is the same size as Susan. It drapes like a dream. God bless the dear, clever people at Jo Sharp, and all their descendants, and all their sheep.
Two nice things about this design:
- The fringe is integral. Every row is knitted with a new piece of yarn, with 10-inch ends left hanging at the beginning and end. So I don't have a fringe to attach, but I do have to trim and knot these when the knitting is done. Generally speaking, I'm not a fringe-loving man, but on this piece it both ensures a proper drape and it looks appropriate.
- Because every row uses a new piece of yarn, I have almost no ends to weave in.
The funniest thing is that when she asked for this wrap, she wasn't a knitter. And now she is. There's proof (and cute dogs) on her blog.

The Blessed Virgin is not to be made fun of. Don't you know that she is a symbol of purity throughout the world and that the Lord Everyone's God sent our Jesus Everyone's Shepherd to her through her Immaculate Conception, which is The Greatest Mystery of Them All (besides how many angels dance on the end of a knitting needle)?
I will pray for you and knit you a shawl so that you can cast off your heathen ways and become the upstanding Christian person Jesus expects.
And by the way, Mother Mary would never knit with Koigu. She's an Encore kinda Mom.
Okay...I admit it...I gave her the Koigu to apologize for knocking her up.
What!?!?...my name is Joseph afterall.
I don't know whether I'm laughing harder at your cartoon - or at Marilyn's response. Thanks for the giggles - I really need them and appreciate them.
Now I'm thinking of a Koigu coat of many colors!
In the spring, when you have lots of time, you might want to work on that doodle. It would be a great addition to your line of knitters' holiday cards. (duck and run)
You'd never know I was a Lutheran, either. Would you, Jon?
Isn't that speshul?
Those little sheep you draw are so adorable.
I'm with you Jon!! I'm not gullible, I'm trusting.
Deadlines of your own looming and you still take the time to spread hilarity! Thanks.
I don't know about the Virgin Mary, but I'd rank Koigu up there with gold, frankinsense and myrhh! Thanks for a great laugh.
Great one! Glad you have comments on now, so I can fawn all over you! Oh, and you've got a link at Blue Gal today, too.
Franklin, you are hilarious! That cartoon put a smile on my face.
But I personally think Mary is Brown Sheep Cotton/Wool kinda girl.
Gosh, there's a lot of helpful material above!
