lessons in dressing oneself

how do I wear this again?, a photo by gradschoolknitter on Flickr.

I'm not sure how to wear the stripe study shawl. It's pretty, and was fun to make, but hard to wear.

In part it might be because I ran out of yarn. I got to the 11th stripe (of 12) and had to cut it short in the end because I was going to run out of pink yarn. I also ran out of grey, so my bottom contrasting stripe is a lot thinner than called for.

Still, I think it looks good...


... and maybe in time I'll learn how to wear it in a functional way.
