Sweater Scape

Suburban Chicago, 1971. I photograph my "finished objects." The arrangement does not feature the first sweater I knitted; I must have given it away by the time I took this photo. The second sweater does appear here: it's the one with the hanger.

Gigi rests on a shawl I crocheted. I'll write more about that later.

"Why Do TV Characters All Own the Same Weird Old Blanket?"

It's that granny-square afghan.

"I don`t use models. Almost always the model is me."

Sculptor Yulia Ustinova.

(Yes, the interview is two years old, but I stumbled on the images today.)

Holiday Weekend

Suburban Chicago, May 1970. I earlier posted photos from this afternoon here and here.

"[I]t's got knitting and crochet patterns so you can re-create the look yourself."

It = the book, Cats in Hats.

Sometimes, I crocheted.

Suburban Chicago, Spring 1970. I crocheted a stylish vest for my beloved Godmother, and she wore it!

She's still on the phone.

Suburban Chicago, December 1974. Mom advises a patient while she crochets an afghan.

Gigi was a good hostess.

Door County, Wisconsin, June 1981. My Mom's best friend, Donna, joined my Parents for the weekend. Donna brought Heidi, one of the Dachshunds. A patient crocheted the ivory, gold, and brown afghan for my Mom. We still use the afghan; Rex sleeps on it every night in his chair.

"The next time you wake up and smell the coffee ...

... you can also look down and see a cat butt as you rest your mug on one of these inspired Cat Butt Coasters."

"Buttmunchies Yarnbomb"

I don't think much of "yarnbombing," but I liked this incident.

"Rather than wash her hair down the plughole, retired teacher Xiang Renxian collected all the strands of her 'wonderful long hair' and knitted it into a coat and cap."

Crocheted?

A Familiar Space: The Rec Room

Suburban Chicago, Winter 1984. In the 1980s, my Dad photographed every room of our home. Although I remember the rooms clearly, it's nice to see the details preserved in some of the images.
