The Prettyish Wilderness Socks designed by Rachel Coopey is shown in Shibui Sock Yarn (one of our favorites). "These socks are inspired by the garden surroundings in Pride and Prejudice when Lady Catherine de Bourgh comes to forbid Elizabeth Bennet from marrying Mr. Darcy."
A darling little tunic made from Louet Euroflax Linen. If you've never knit with linen it's a good time to try. It washes and wears great and gets softer each time you wash and dry it. Make sure you knit a swatch, then wash it and dry it to get an accurate gauge.
Henry Tilney's Brocade vest is shown as being knit with Spud and Chloe fine. Henry Tilney wore a similar vest while he was in Bath attending a ball or theatre.
In the nineteenth century the military look started influencing feminine fashion. With the invention of the tape measure and other tailoring methods, the design shifted to a more fitted garment. Hussars Spencer is a wearable garment for today. It was knit with Cascade 220 Superwash.
The Pleated Neck Scarf is darling and made with Rowan Kid Silk Haze. Did I mention we just got the Kidsilk Haze in self striping colors?
A double layered Capelet made with Kidsilk Haze and Madeline Tosh Merino, is reversible so you can have the lace side turned out for the evening and the ribbed side turned out for your daily activities.
Whatever pattern you chose to knit, we would be happy to help you with a yarn choice.
Hope to see you soon!
