This is a year of events. Some good, some bad, most I prefer not to dwell on. It has all gotten to be a bit too much. Then Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg died. Everything just seemed darker. RBG fought for equality between the sexes. If you have not seen the movie “On the Basis of Sex”, I highly recommend it.
WIP in progress
I heard about the move to knit Empowerment kerchiefs, as usual, I am late to any trend. I decided to knit a scarf in purple and I wanted to add an essence of the collars worn by RBG when gowned as a Supreme Court Justice.
The yarn, 100% Cormo works up beautifully on US7 (4.5mm) needles. I kettle dyed the skein for a variegated purple. The white is a skein of undyed wool from deep in the stash, no label.
I charted the collar by looking at photos and graphics of RBG. The collar is not exact, it is representational. As the scarf continues the collar motif will evolve.
