This week I finally finished a successful honeycomb ear-warmer/cowl and realized that I needed to figure out where and how best to photograph finished pieces once they are done. Since I am fortunate enough to work on the same floor as the fashion design classes are held, it occurred to me that perhaps during downtime, the mannequins might have nothing better to do than help me out with this endeavor…however, I wasn’t sure whether there were any with heads–I had mainly run across dress forms, rather than full fledged mannequins. So I emailed the department assistant and no more than 10 minutes later she appeared at my door with my two new friends pictured below!
My own personal supermodels
Get ready to see a lot more of them (in the abbsquake storefront, that is)! I am nearly finished with a second identical honeycomb ear-warmer/cowl which will soon be available for sale.

Do they have names yet?
Chuck & LouEllen were suggested… I’m still open to other ideas if you have any 🙂
The chick looks like a Purl to me 🙂
Purl it is-I love it!
Inspired by your suggestion of Purl, I remembered that my sister had a male friend growing up named Knute…which sounds a little like knit, so in my head I now refer to this pair as Knute & Purl..or perhaps we’ll say Pearl so they are both a little incognito. 😉 Thanks SIL!
