Jonathan looks very snug, trying on one of the new neck-warmer designs I’ve been working on.

The first prototype (in red-browns) has rolled edges, as I thought that would be more comfortable ; however the second prototype was knitted so as to avoid the edge rolling, and although it looks – to me, at least – somewhat less comfy, J says that they’re much the same, as the yarns are exceptionally soft.
