This is the first part of a 14 pictures series that describe a walk on Meher center in Myrtle Beach. Seven pictures describe the walk from Meher house to the Boathouse, and another seven for the walk back. The pictures are meant to be back to back, like a vest, and this is one reason for the name 'invested'. The other reason, and my inspiration to knit this piece is the kimono artist Itchiku Kubota. His best work is a series of 70 kimonos called 'Symphony of light'. They are magnificent.
Mr. Kubota had been enchanted with a lost kimono making technique and worked for years on finding how to do it. His dedication, and his being so invested in finding out how to recreate it, inspired me.

V3a - the bench. This is the first 'invested' I made and I decided not to include it in the series because the location of the lake is lower then it is in the other pictures, and I wanted continuity.
