F.O. Friday – Yes I did

Despite my moodiness, I managed to complete a little knitting project this week. The pattern for this knitted and beaded collar, above, is found in 60 QuickLuxury Knits, published in 2014 by the editors of Sixth and Spring Books. I suspect that it is now out of print. I bought mine through an on-line used book store.

There are likely to be similar pattern on Ravelry.com.

As I was knitting, I thought about the late Justice Ginsberg and her iconic fashion (and political) statement collars.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg: May her memory be a blessing

One of many obituaries published last year.

**This one is known as the Dissent Collar**

Mine was made with some fingering weight yarn found in my stash. The charcoal yarn is a blend of silk and wool. The pink is a blend of rayon and wool. The beads are 6/0 glass seed beads in a color called Red Rainbow, from the local hobby store.

I hope I get to wear mine soon. One couldn’t choose a better role model than RBG.
