A Warm Child
2013/2016
Sweater 1" x 1"
Socks: 1/2" x 1/2"
Cotton Thread, Wood
 
These pieces were knit with a lovely hand dyed cotton thread using traditional techniques.  The sweater has 4 functioning custom wooden buttons.  The pieces are set in a custom made handing case.
 
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. Every aspect of my work is meant to be as real as possible.  Please feel free to email me at altheacrome@gmail.com with any further questions.
 
Dimensions of Case: 8 1/8" X 8 1/8" X 3 1/2"
