It’s raining again, but you don’t really want to know about that. Nothing new there. I have no idea when the corn will get planted or the garden, but maybe that’s not a bad thing. Tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and other warm loving plants wouldn’t like this cool, rainy weather anyway.
All anatomy labs have a skeleton. The skeleton usually has a name. My lab has a skeleton because it’s also the anatomy lab, but I don’t know her (his) name. I don’t teach Anatomy and Physiology – I’m completely unqualified to teach it, never having taken an A&P course in my life. I do feel bad about not knowing the skeleton’s name, though. And I feel bad that he (she) doesn’t have a skull. Talk about indignity! It’s bad enough to be bare-boned for all the world to see, but headless, too? It’s too much!
Headless and nameless though he (she) is, our skeleton is an accommodating set of bones and agreed to model some knitwear for me after lab.
The knitwear is the fur scarf/shawl pattern I received for Christmas. The colors are beautiful, the yarn is a high-quality eyelash yarn purchased for me at an LYS. A pain to knit, naturally, but I really like the colors which go nicely with my coat and, clearly, complement the skeleton as well.
One of the other anatomy mannequins insisted that it too, be given a chance to model knitwear. I could hardly refuse and I did have another piece available.
The photo isn’t good, but the hat is the lovely Beret Gaufre from Veronik Avery. I love this hat! I love the yarn I used (Dalegarn Falk) and I love the brim of the beret. It’s even flattering to the head and neck muscles mannequin.
