Wednesday night walk to my knitting group.
The cold, wet weather gave me an excuse to break out some of my favorite vintage pieces.
A heavy wool blanket shawl
A hand-knit fisherman sweater with wildly long ribbing at the cuffs and hem.
And a pair of leather ankle boots.
And a photo of my cat Luccas, who likes to help with all of my needlework projects.
Speaking of...
I am almost finished knitting my husband's birthday socks, and not a minute too soon, now that the boots are out of storage again. I am using Jenny Gordy's pattern from Made by Hand, Lena Corwin's latest book and ode to craft. The book features a wide variety of projects to try and skills to practice all taught by a roster of impressive makers and beautifully photographed. I have been imagining plans for most of the suggested projects in the book but so far I have just knit this sock pattern, twice.
Like all of Gordy's patterns, both knit and sewn, the socks are simple and elegant. No frills and simply perfect.
