"A sweater like a tree?"
| |
Now that I have a description of some clothes which stand out for Kaitlyn, I want to draw that. Unfortunantly, I have absolutely no idea what that sweater is supposed to look like... If you could give me an alternate description of the sweater, then the Giant Robo! style pic I do next (no idea as to WHEN) will be full-body, as opposed to only face. -Craig |

Shoulder with a bit of tree branch curling over it
Verticle cable
Center of sweater with main trunk of tree and most of the branches

>Sleeve with chevrons ( linked chevrons look like this: /\/\/\/\/\ ) Wonderful... down the sleeve, or around it? >Shoulder with a bit of tree branch curling over it Actual picture of tree? I thought it was a vague impression of a tree... >Verticle cable Oro? English being my first language, I've forgotten enough that this makes no sense (nor, for that matter, does the sentence I just wrote). Verticle I understand. Cable? Stripes? >Center of sweater with main trunk of tree and most of the branches Again, I thought it was a kind of representation of a tree, not an actual tree? -Craig |

>Actual picture of tree? I thought it was a vague impression of a

>Oro? English being my first language, I've forgotten enough that this

It looks like a piece of rope that is embedded in the sweater going from Kate's shoulder to the bottom of the sweater. >Verticle I understand. Cable? Stripes? Like the type of rope (called a cable) used on ships. >>Center of sweater with main trunk of tree and most of the branches

>Again, I thought it was a kind of representation of a tree, not an

I'm quite sure what my mental picture of this looks like - the wonderful and catastrophic thing about words is they mean different things to different people. -- Juniper "Lift the world's lid!" ...

Mmm, okay, I'll try that, then. No, I have never noticed a cable-knit sweater. That doesn't mean I haven't seen one, though - just that I am incredibly unobservative. It's been proven scientifically. -Craig |

>full-body, as opposed to only face. Example of a cable-knit sweater For the curious, they are called fisherman's sweaters because the old sailors
each had a distinctive style of knitting for each family. Often times when
someone got washed overboard and drowned, the fish would mangle the flesh
beyond recognation.. The sweater was used to identify the body when it washed
up on shore. |
