Micro Cardigan with Buttons and Pockets
2017
5 mm x 5 mm
Silk Thread + Freshwater Pearl
 
This tiny cardigan was knit on 10/0 needles and fine silk thread.  Yes, those are inset pockets.  The cardigan is also sporting genuine pearl buttons.  
 
To create my knitted pieces, I design my own original patterns and then use my own hand-made knitting needles that I make from surgical stainless steel.  I use fine cotton or silk thread to knit with.  If there are buttons on the piece-they work.  If there are pockets--they are real.  Socks have turned heels, gloves have fingers so small they are too big for a grain of rice. All aspects of my work is meant to be as "real" as possible.  Please feel free to email me at altheacr@gmail.com with any further questions.
