How high is a dove?

Is a question that I can imagine the great Ella Fitzgerald improvising to the Hamilton & Lewis' tune How High The Moon.

And it's also a question to which the answer eludes me. I often have to ask myself these sorts of questions.

Like how big is a guinea pig?

I'm designing a barred window that a dove flies through ( oh yes, we love a visual metaphor around here..yes we do!) and so I really needed to know how much aperture overall to allow, and the spacing of the bars.

In the end I just made it up.

And so what does all this have to do with knitting you might ask?

Absolutely nothing!
