Welcome to my new off-shoot project, a companion to Mathilde's Sewing Box.
Lately I've been doing a good bit of investigation into historic knitting and I decided this would be a good tool to help me organize (as much is possible, given my rather "cluttered" nature) my thoughts and keep track of my sources.
For the next several months I will be focusing on knitted hats and caps from the late Medieval period, trying to produce finished objects that look and behave like those in period imagery and extant items in museum collections.
I invite you all to share in my insanity - it really can be quite fun!
