I love how simple many of the moves look at first glance and how so many can translate to knitting, but then it’s fabric too.

Lately I’ve been looking at history of costume books, the kind with line drawings and descriptions of costumes through the ages. Drapery and knitting! Now there’s a lovely thing.

I often look at one before I fall asleep, and they have inspired some amazing dreams. All can be ordered through your friendly independent bookstore, and they are worth every penny!

I’ve been wondering about getting this book for ages, but have only seen it online (not in the shops) so haven’t been able to flick through and see what it’s really like…..think I’ll probably add it to my wishlist now. :)

Texture is sooooo important to me, and I really like that you’ve taken such inspiration and run with it. Your photos are great!
