It is famously claimed that chocolate raises endorphine levels in the human body. Brillat-Savarin is reported to have said;
"Good living is an act of intelligence,
by which we choose things which have
an agreeable taste rather than those
which do not."
As chocolate is delicious, I think that the eating of chocolate should be taken to be the sign of an excellent mind. In fact, I would take it further ... if eating something that tastes agreeable is an act of intelligence, and since hormonal women tend toward chocolate as if to a natural urge, the hormonal woman who eats chocolate is, in fact, HIGHLY INTELLIGENT
After all, "...all true chocolate lovers know that [chocolate] is a
vegetable. It comes from the cocoa bean, beans are veggies, 'nuff
said."
Winter weather in South East Queensland is often cool enough for a little cover, but not cold enough for heavier knits. I knitted this wrap last winter, so that I'd have something light to throw around my shoulders when it was chilly. My mother used it, my sister used it ... I don't recall having used it once! But that was because I was using my stripy Inca-style shawl.
I knitted this wrap in a lovely, creamy white Cleckheaton yarn, Studio Mohair. The completed fabric is one of my favourite ribs ... a slipped stitch rib. I'd really like to try this wrap with hand-made lace lining the cast on and cast off edges.
The slipped stitch rib I used is easily knitted. If you would like the instructions for either the stitch or the pattern, leave a message or email me. I'm happy to help!
