I know this is a bit of topic but in light of Alice's Three Graces design for summer, I thought I would post this article:
https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/entry...068e44e4b0b2520d156dd5?utm_hp_ref=ca-homepage. You can read the full article here, but I've excerpted the parts dealing with the Anne Dagg and her research with giraffes.
"The latest cohort of appointments to the Order of Canada include many people whose accomplishments have had an impact around the world, including pioneering biologist Anne Dagg, known as the “Queen of Giraffes.”
Her work in the 1950s documenting the creatures in Africa paved the way for others who became famous for living among wild animals, but Dagg was originally mocked and ignored.
To now be among the latest recipients of one of Canada’s highest honours stands as proof, Dagg said, that her work had an impact.
“I’ve always worked really hard, and done new things and written books, things that have never been thought of before,” she said in an interview from her Waterloo, Ont., home.
“It’s just so exciting to find that people are now amazed that I’ve done all that.”
Dagg’s decision to travel to Africa to observe giraffes — an animal that had fascinated her since childhood — was considered ridiculous despite the fact it would later produce one of the first reference books on the animal, she said.
Years after her work there — she would go on to earn a PhD and publish widely — she was refused tenure because she was a woman, she said.
So while Jane Goodall would go on to become an icon for her work with chimpanzees, Dagg’s contributions remained widely unknown until a documentary about her life was released last year.
She credits the film, “The Woman Who Loves Giraffes,” with the fact her name is now on anyone’s radar — including the Order of Canada committee — at all."
The photo of this giraffe reminds me so much of the giraffes on Alice Shirley's design.
Haven't seen the film referred to in the article. Need to hunt it down and watch it!

Wow! Thank you for sharing this! She sounds like an amazing woman!
Oh you are right
I will go tomorrow then
Thank you for reminding me.
I am curious too. My home store doesn't have it yet. So drive to the SD store is in my plan anyway.Thank you dear @tlamdang08 - I am SO interested in this one! But can it actually be worn? Hmmm..... that is the question. I need to be able to use my things or can't rationalize the expense. I appreciate your effort.
and I am glad I can share with everyone that has the same curiosity 
Oh you are right
I will go tomorrow then

Not to go OT, but my store is open on Sundays just for the holidays, so it’s worth checking! I did a search for SD hermes and maybe thIs is your store?
Oh wow, thank you. I did call and due to holiday, they are open on Sunday. I will report back in a couple of hours.
This is not my home store

How interesting, I haven’t heard of her before. Thank you for posting the article!
Aaaah! This is one if my preferred CWs for this design... Congrats! It’s fantastic! If you have a chance to play with it a bit, I would appreciate seeing some knots. The wide blank expanse on this design worries me, but perhaps it was because the original CW featured so much of that blue that wasn’t so great on me... So, I am hopeful to find one that will work this time around

They had that at the SD store too. It looked just like the stock picture. A nice pink, not too dark or too light. If I didn’t have so many pink scarves I’d definitely get it and may still before the season is over.
If you can’t get there Monday, I can go Tuesday. I’m going to send my SA a message to hold the pink Tigre Royal and see if he could hold the round one and any Savana Dance they may have if no one can get there before Tuesday.Oops, today is not the holiday schedule anymore. Sorry to disappoint everyone.
