Afterthought - Yellow Canary Number Two


I knitted the "Yellow Canary" sweater in the post a couple of years ago. I tested it by machine washing it in hot water. Orlon Acrylic Fiber does not shrink. It does not felt. It only bleeds marginally. I was disappointed. I had imagined the model, my doll Isabelle, in a magic, swirly, felted masterpiece, like the poor girl who wore the original a long time ago.


Isabelle is three feet tall, fearless, with boundless energy and imagination. I have declared her to be the personification of my inner child.
