Thank you all so much for contributing to, reading, and generally supporting Homage to SweaterWeek. Together, we filled three full weeks with memories of Robert and helped stitch together a portrait of his effect on our lives.
So many of you told me that sitting down to write and process his passing was terribly difficult. Some of you were grateful for the opportunity, the informal assignment, to remember and honor Robert. And most of you said you had been comforted-- in some small way--by this collection of memories. I hope this project helps us remember that we are part of a large community of people who miss, grieve and love Robert.
We hope that Homage to SweaterWeek continues next year and five years from now and twenty years from now as a creative outlet, a catharsis, and a joyful fall tradition. We know that it will evolve as our lives evolve, but we have to imagine that Rob would have kept the tradition going in some way. Homage to SweaterWeek can be serious and silly and irreverent and poignant. It can be all of these things because Robert was and we are.
Thank you all, again, for participating so fully.
Homage to SweaterWeek 2016 has been a great success for everyone involved.
