Knitting is (not) the new black; Or: Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should

In the window of Kate Sylvester, there is a knitted dress. It is a really pretty pale green colour (I can’t find a picture online), but even so. It is a knitted dress. When I first saw it, I texted Caroline to say “There’s a knitted dress in the window of Kate Sylvester, does that mean I can make one?” She replied “No, because you aren’t Kate Sylvester, nor do you want to be her. Although it would be very funny, so maybe you should”.

Part of me loves this dress, and thinks it is pretty. The other part of me thinks it is absolutely ridiculous. What worries me is that I am sitting, typing, wearing a pair of fingerless gloves I knitted for myself, that even 6 months ago, I would have thought were ridiculous.

So maybe I should knit the dress, cos it would be funny. Except? Just No.
