This is the very beginning of the Split Neck T in Noro Cash Iroha. It's absolutely gorgeous yarn...so soft! There was an article in the Fall 2007 Vogue Knitting by Lily Chin about garment construction based on body type. Apparently all these raglan sleeve sweaters I'm making are just making my pear shaped body look even more pear shaped. Pity.....I'm so addicted to them. it appears I should be making yoked cardigans with a pattern of some type around the yoke...so as to draw the eye away from my fat ass. Perhaps I will try a little something from Knitting Nature next.Ginnie Lee went to the vet today. Since Dr. Rose is cutting back his hours in favor of a more retired lifestyle, GL saw handsome Dr. Hiser today. Dr. Hiser opines that GL might have food allergies. He thinks that I should try a hypoallergenic diet for two months. But, he also found yeast in GL's ears...and we all know how itchy yeast can be. So GL is being treated for yeast in her ears and we're going to keep an eye on her itchiness.
All the poking and prodding wore GL out.
She only goes into her crate when she needs alone time. I never bother her there.

Poor GL! Hope she feels better soon. There is a vet allergy specialist in Carytown.
I am almost finished with my Split Neck T. Did you know that it is very easy to make a topdown raglan pattern into a yoke pattern? Basically, you come up with some sort of stitch pattern or change colors and then sprinkle the increases around. Take a look at Barbara Walker's Knitting from the Top.
Poor Miss GL, I hope you are feeling less "itchy" soon!
Bless GL's sweet little heart. Here's hoping tomorrow is a better day for her. I sure hope the change in diet cures what ails her.
I don't think you have a thing to worry about as far as being pear-shaped. You always seem tall and thin to me!
Oh yes, try something from Knitting Nature--I want to live vicariously! It's nice that GL has a place she can go to recharge her batteries. And nice that her new doc is willing to try some new things (and happens to be handsome).
