Raise your hands, how many of you like to go shopping for bras? I bet you that number decreases with age. I read that the average bra size is 36C and that this is increasing. Ten years ago it was 36B. What’s going on? Is it because of the aging population? Too many kids on hormones? Too much McDonald’s? I ended up buying a Wonderbra. Who names these things? It’s not the push up kind of Wonderbra, but very sturdy looking pale green thing with a rhinestone right smack in the middle. I think it was the rhinestone that hooked me, so to speak. As I get older my foundations are getting more practical. Right, practical – a rhinestone bra. Moving right along into the too much information department, I used to buy bras for what they looked like, now I buy them for what they do. In other words, do they do their job of holding things up properly? This wasn’t an issue for me ten years ago. Must be all those McDonald’s breakfasts.
I’ve finished Jeannie’s shawl. It was a quick satisfying knit, the perfect gift project. It’s a garter stitch triangle, starting with two stitches and doing a yarn over after the first stitch of each row. It took way less yarn than the bias shawl, making it a bit more economical with two fewer skeins of yarn.
