Birthday shrug

It was my birthday last week, and, despite being completely shocked and stunned that I'm suddenly 39 effing years old (w-h-a-a-t??), I was thrilled to receive the amazing gift of a handmade shrug from my sister Brook.



This maybe isn't such a great show-off-your-new-shrug shot. But these pics were taken on my actual birthday, so they're at least very authentic in that sense. Brook has always been the mad talented knitter of crazily dope garments. She made this one from a pattern in this book.



"That's right, I said I'm 39 years old! And I just get better with time, like the fine wine in the summertime. And I know it looks like I'm totally holding this cat hostage, but I'm so not!"

how apropos. the queen of birthday nonchalance gets a birthday shrug! and even though it doesn't rhyme with "time" i think you're more like a fine whiskey--mellow and smokey (but of course, minus the smokiness, cough, cough...)

You're indeed a fun person, and talented. I concur with the Vandervloed "Father/Son" show....Neil and Jake, in that order for size. Superb fun and a lot of nice folks. Bought a few pieces that I'm looking foeward to picking up after the show ends in Rondout. Also, Great job Adam Snyder who will someday own Rondout, NY. JJ, Central Valley, N.Y. by way of Vancouver, B.C.
