I get coffee 5 blocks and 2 major arterials away from the park and I see rabbits in that area - a brown and black 'couple'. Tonight I saw one about 8 blocks and 3 major arterials away. With cats, dogs, humans, and plenty of cars not every one of these rabbits survives but many do. It's surprising to see them thrive as well as they do in the middle of the city.

I am sure the great people at the Fiber Gallery can help you with this. One thing you might consider is cutting (stop screaming, it's OK - I promise) the stitch right under the top and dropping it down from there. I know it's been done for clapotis before. If you nipped (is that a softer word?) one stitch, you could sew the nipped ends with a little bit of matching thread, and you would never see it. What yarn did you knit it with? It's really lovely - and Jeff is a winner in my book for the creative/supportive racing stripe comment. Leslie is also very good that way. Hello!
