Comfy

It's so nonsensical when non-crafters ask you how long it took to make something. ACTUAL knitting time on these was probably less than 48 hours. Number of DAYS on which I actually knit even a row on them? Maybe 15? 20? But total time from start to finish? March 31, 2009 to March 11, 2010.

Can I take your photo? Because you look cool; you look happy; you have great style; you move your hands in a neat way; you remind me of someone I used to know...

Les Étrangers: Leon and Christian.

If I walked up to you on the street, or in a coffeeshop, or on an El platform, and asked to take your photo for one of those or many other reasons, would you let me?

L'étranger deux: Gabriel

These people did. So far. ;)
