The baby Surprise sweater

DH says this looks like a sweater for a very depressed Chinese orphan. Sooooo grey! All the time I was knitting, I was thinking of how warm it would be and how clever the structure was and how soft (oh so baby-bunny-soft!) the dark fuzzy trim yarn was. Sooo snuggly against a little neck. But it IS rather drab and grey, isn't it?






And here's how it looks from the back. I suppose I could perk it up with some brightly colored flowers embroidered on it. what do you think? Maybe some red ribbons somewhere? It just seems - finished - to me.


So I have started another one in shades of yellow and orange. And I realized that the County fair is rolling right up, and I had better get to work on my projects. Time to start thinking about printing and matting my poems for the State fair as well.

Again, asking your opinions, here's the one I considered entering for the "Short poem" category.

Gangs of young toughs, arrogant in their shiny black jackets
sweep raucously through the neighborhood.
On the orders of the Godfeather, the Crowsanostra moves in.

Think it will offend anyone?
