It is so gnarly. I also love your framing work, especially in the first picture, haha.... You're lucky that you have a camera with a timer. I asked a total stranger to take my picture on the train recently. Strangely, I felt less strange after that.<br /><br />Back to the sweater...I really do love that sweater, now that I see it better--so much that I am tempted to try it. Is it all in French? <br /><br />This is a really enjoyable photo shoot, all around, head-chopping and all.<br /><br />P.S. Oh darn, I just noticed Five Ferns' post. I could have saved my virtual breath and said "ditto that." While I'm at it, I could echo Kenny's self-expression.willyghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04361676985542834823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-577210556432625675.post-83232166097923965952010-03-05T09:53:18.486-06:002010-03-05T09:53:18.486-06:00Great sweater!
