Just a Test

I'm attempting a new way to look at life, as per this quote (compliments of the Internet)

"Life is a test. It is only a test. Had this been a real life, you would have been given instructions on where to go and what to do."

Although I didn't find this quote until after completing this, my mini end-of-the-school-year project kind of reflects these ideas. See this?

It's a mini clothesline!

Up in the tree like this, it looks like a little elf went out to dry her clothes. It made me smile.

I wrote down the pattern for each piece, so I'll see if I can get the pattern out later. All yarn was handspun, including the clothesline itself, which was flax.

I tried to make it chronicle a woman's life, from her birth, to her first prom dress, to her wedding, to the birth of her first child. It's a tad existential, but it seemed appropriate, what with all of the changes going on, college apps and such.
