Jessie has had to call a ceasefire to The Knitting War due to her business taking off, which … hello, priorities?? But, it’s fine — it gives me time to work on something really spectacular and time-consuming, something that would bring this war to an end and find me victorious. Something like the above. Only I might add feet, because while this lady is CLEARLY warmer than any person living on earth, her feet must be freezing. Put some slippers on!

I found the pattern for these in an issue of Vogue Knits, which I do not subscribe to but appears to be chock full of super crazy knitwear modeled without an ounce of irony. I believe the same issue contained a sleeveless fur trimmed duster made out of a camel-colored chenille yarn (OR DID I DREAM THAT UP?). In any case, the second I saw this little number it was love at first sight. It matches the legwarmers I had previously knit and gifted to Jessie, so some day I expect her to model the entire ensemble as God intended it. Not pictured: two pockets on the butt, embellished with matching red knit hearts.
