A “Greta” waistcoat is undoubtedly the most popular item in my collection.
Most of them find their loving owners fairly quickly and I receive upbeat messages from Letizia, informing their departures from her boutique, DiGuardo.
I named this gilet as “Greta” because of its discreetly emphasised shoulder detail…
The shoulders are slightly puffed-up like Greta Garbo striking her signature masculine pose…
I just love the fact that a string of yarn can somehow morphs into a solid object, like a simple doodle taking up a 3-D shape…
Through endless trial & error, the optimum numbers of stitch for each row was established. Yet, I can’t still help treating each project as a work in progress…
By the way, the shade of the yarn is strikingly similar to this ancient Instagram-like snap I came across at the Photographers Gallery the other day…
Apparently, tomorrow will be a crisp and cold day. Will any of my babies find someone’s shoulders to cuddle?…
Your pieces fascinate me, both in texture and colour! xxxxx
Yeah, it gives me a kick every time I see them taking up shapes xxxx
that is beautiful…so tactile, I just want to run my fingers over the stitches (I hope that doesn’t sound too weird)
It doesn’t sound not at all weird. Every time I am making one, I can’t help feeling the same way (^_^)
As someone who doesn’t even know how to thread a needle, all I can say is WOW! I love the style of this waistcoat, the purple colored yarn is so lovely.
Ooo… so pretty!!!
Thank you very much (^-^)
You’re a knitting genius!
