I know you said it is multicoloured so will be very pretty. Is there a predominant colour, or is it a true rainbow yarn? |

That sounds absolutely gorgeous Mirjam - very delicate colours. I fetched some sky blue yarn out of my stash and have started to crochet a lacy summer jacket. I only have very thick winter cardigans so am looking forward to finishing this.

Like you I find that I need something lightweight for the summer as it can get a bit chilly when travelling and there are always draughts. My winter ones are just too heavy. I do like those shrugs but they don't like me Mirjam. As I've grown older I have become distinctly "pear shaped" (wider around my bottom half than around my top) and they seem to accentuate it. I prefer something that will hide the view from the back so usually go for a longer line in jackets.

Not just Middle Eastern ladies Mirjam, it seems to be a female thing I'm afraid as my mother was the same shape and it seems to afflict most ladies over the age of 40. My father always referred to it as "the Grecian bend" though where he got that information from I have no idea. He always maintained that he was a mine of useless information. He was also great fun.

news Not just Middle Eastern ladies Mirjam, it seems to be a female thing I'm afraid as my mother was the same shape and it seems to afflict most ladies over the age of 40. Ahh, but not all women are pear-shaped either. Some are round, or apple-shaped (as was my Mom and my oldest sister... I'm more oblong-shaped, the weight is evenly distributed on top and bottom and not necessarily in a good way), some are inverted pears (heavier on top than on the bottom) as is a friend of mine who is heavy all over but moreso on top... then there are very thin people who can eat anything and everything and never gain an ounce. NOT FAIR, PEOPLE!!!! I *think* about food and gain 5 lbs. Oh well... it's life! ;o) *hugs* Gemini |

I was one of the lucky ones who remained slim (apart from the pear shape) until I was actually in my late fifties. My husband is very polite and now refers to me as "well upholstered" - either he is being polite or has decided not to live THAT dangerously ;-) Bernadette |
