an open letter to stephen west
October 26, 2010
dear stephen,
i love you.
not in that way since we obviously haven’t met,
but i love your designs, your aesthetic,
that carefree attitude that nearly
drips from your photographs.
the speed with which you churn out patterns is astonishing.
and there are several i’ve been meaning to start.
ask any of my coworkers of my struggle
to find the perfect colors for daybreak,
or my new crush on chadwick.
i’m also très grateful that i get to test knit for you.
even if i can’t show the world what i’ve been knitting,
it still makes me feel special.
that being said,
i have to ask one question about your new pattern,
the one you’ve named knothole.
don’t you think that it may be a tad . . . .
. . . vaginal?
i’m just saying.
sincerely yours,
steven

OMG… when I saw it the other day I thought the exact same thing!! It’s a beautiful piece of knitwear, but yeah… it kind of looks like bunch of vaginas.

I think the word you want is ‘vulva’.
the vagina is the internal part of the female genitalia, it’s not visible. The vulva is the external part, looks similar to parts of this scarf!
