There are so many things I love about old crochet magazines. You get pages that look like this:
And this:
And you step back in time, to a world where Woolworths still exists. Ah, I miss that shop so much.
So authentically Mexican.
Best of all, you can get ideas. I am not sure I would want Mr Year to wear this jerkin - though if he did it would be pretty cool - but the stitch could look nice as something else.
Like a...tie. A tie like this:
It was made from some Scandinavian organic wool. So I suppose this technically makes it a tiny scarf. Also, what makes the wool organic I wonder? It was a simple scallop stitch, really rhythmic and enjoyable, although like all long thin projects it did start to get a little boring towards the end.
But I like it. So does he, at least he seems to be enjoying it.
Perhaps a little too much.

ReplyDeletegreat tie; awesome photo shoot!
ReplyDeleteWith a high-pressure lifestyle as hectic as mine, I need to be able to rely on my accessories. I need style that can cope with the tough demands of the boardroom and the bar; that allows me to work hard, and play hard.
ReplyDeleteCrochet won't let me down. It's a tie I can trust.
(But to clarify, I do not need a crochet jerkin.)
Only such a man could wear a Liberty print pocket handkerchief so convincingly! What a beautiful tie!!

Great post. Great tie. And I think Mr Year missed his calling.
