A Zidelian Mystery

 Some of you, maybe all three, will recall my bloggy homage to Esther Zidel, a woman I knew, a bit. After she left this world some of her scrapbooks and drawings were rescued from the trash heap and given to me. I sensed this "trash" needed saving and I did my best over there. It's been so long since I've done anything bloggy, I can't even manage to do a simple link to Esther. Pathetic.


I was just sent a photo consisting of a trio of Esther works I've never seen. The sender asked me if I could identify the subjects.

The dude in the center is undoubtedly Robert Taylor (does anyone remember Robert Taylor??) 

The mademoiselle on top gives me an Olivia deHavilland vibe, but then I look again and I kind of see her sister. In other words, I'm not sure.

And the bottom dame baffles.


ANY GUESSES??

KNIT HAPPENS

 SO AFTER THE MISTRESS THREATENED TO TURN HER REALM INTO A KNITTING FACTORY, I WENT LOOKING FOR SOME KNITTING TERMS SO THAT I MIGHT HAVE SOME CLEVER RIPOSTE FOR HER.


I GOOGLED AND I CLICKED AND IT BROUGHT ME TO THE PAGE BELOW 

AND ALL I COULD DO WAS SMILE. 

I FOUND, NORMAN!
