New from Twist Collective:
The idea for this hat and mitts set originated in the work of William
Morris (1834-1896). As an artist and medievalist who influenced the Arts
and Crafts movement and writers such as J.R.R. Tolkien, his textile
designs have a lot to offer up as inspiration. I wanted to evoke the
dense botanical look of his work in a simplified format, and with only
21 stitches to work with across the back of the hand for the smallest
size, my canvas was pretty small. To add textural richness to the vine
pattern, I incorporated little French knots, as well as Latvian braid
and a picot edge.
Check out the other beautiful designs in the new Fall 2013 issue. I especially love that one of the models is an attractive older woman.
