The cats are creepy, but I love it regardless!
Eliazar Ochoa is one of half a dozen Peruvian artisans whose page I try to check every month or so for new work; I had a rug and another tapestry by him already. I love depictions of animals. especially when they are animals you don't commonly see depicted as with llamas and rheas, two distinctly South American animals (my other tapestry from him is all condors). And while purple is my favorite color, I do like orange as well, and I saw there was a bit of purple in this. This tapestry currently occupies pride of place, on the door to my office. Which means that at close range, I've realized the faces of the cats are kind of creepy. But I'm not really sure how you could do better on a loom, and I have also seen much worse cat faces! As I look at them more, I think I definitely prefer : | to a badly done : 3 (the most popular simplified cat face), and it makes a lot more sense on a loom as well!

Excellent workmanship
I love this sweater. It works well with jeans, with dress slacks, or with a skirt. The colors incorporated in the sweater provide many options for pairing with a variety of colors. It's warm, lightweight, and very comfortable. I ordered a large because that was recommended on the size chart. I wear a size 12 or Medium in blouses and sweaters, and when the Large came, it fit, but a little too close to the body for my taste. I returned the Large and ordered an extraLarge, which fits the way I prefer to wear my sweaters. The exchange was quick and easy.
