we are curious by nature

While we were at the knitting retreat I told my wine-drinking, chocolate-eating partner (aka Ann) that she had to model my recently completed Aran Wrap so I could take some pictures.  She offered to take the photos of me in the wrap but that would have required me bossing her around about how to take the photos to my exact specifications.

It was when we reached this point in the photo session that I could see my model was reaching the limits of her patience with my precise instructions about exactly the shot I was going for.  It might have had something to do with me telling her to angle her head slightly to the left while turning her torso to the right and asking if she didn't have some lipstick in her pocket that she could apply.

It was at this point that I called a halt to the photo shoot and we moved on to exploring the building you see in the background.  We tried all the doors and looked in all the windows to try and determine just what it was.   We are curious by nature.     

When the security guard pulled up to see why we were trying to break in, he told us it was the gardening shed.  He also provided his contact information in case we had further questions about other buildings on campus.  To save us from conducting any further investigations on our own.

I really love this Aran Wrap. Sophisticated, warm, but not too heavy. Especially with the one section different from the rest (unless that's how an Aran Wrap is supposed to be). Did you make it in one weekend? I must learn to knit. Is it something only an experienced knitter should try?

Well done everyone! Modeling is not easy, especially with a picky photographer. Stellar results all around. Love, love, love the wrap.

Fantastic wrap!!! Couldn't you just settle for sketching the building next time? I'd hate to have to bail you out. :-)

I've encountered many security guards, sheriffs, caretakers, etc. trying to satisfy my curiosity about a place or bldg. We were sent on our way in a remote town while birding in a residential area...the sheriff pulled up behind my car and set of the siren which nearly caused me to have a heart attack...but that's the peril of birding where people don't know what the hell you're doing looking at their houses with binocs...well, you're not looking at their houses, you're looking at the birds in the trees around the houses...some people just don't get it, ya know?

Oh, I see you were at the knitting retreat at Unity! I work there and saw the event posted on our internal calendar. I always call that building the Potting Shed, a bit more romantic a name I think. Did you happen to go down to the swimming pool and see the little wading pools and rock work? Some neat areas, but much, much better in the spring when the rose garden is in full bloom.
