I was cruising my blog feed this morning and ran into a beautiful crimson colored cardigan called the Pearl Clutcher by Kayla Dyches. On first appearances it is a lovely red and orange (great combo for my wardrobe) cardi being modeled by a rockabilly-ish inked beauty. Booze in her hand, lacy frock underneath, Oh Charity you must read more this girls on fire !
Wait am I seeing this right? Are those, oh my god yes they are. HOLY cow Pearl Clutcher.. not a fifties throw back title… it’s a reference to the actual pattern. Yep those are dicks. Yeah I kind of totally love this girl. Win !
More info on Kayla – she’s a performing artist fiber loving designer. She crafts, throws herself into the air and cusses. You love her now too don’t you?
Case in point. Her other patterns are featured on her Ravelry Page Here – they are absolutely fun and beautiful. I am adding most of them to my Que.
What a statement piece! I think it would get me sacked if I wore it to work 😦
My SO asked “but Charity my gosh -where would you wear it???” Of course my response was “To church of course”. 🙂 I thought about doing a FairIsle version where the color gradients somewhat skewed the actual peenies. For a work one that would not go as noticed.
ooh, yes, good idea. My son – took him a moment or two to figure out what he was looking at! – reckoned a shorter version (I’m very short) would be fine for work. He reckoned – and he might be right – that nobody would even notice!
That’t how I am planning my attack 🙂
I think two colorways from Noro that perhaps have common color hues so there that crossover fairisle shading almost happening.
Gotta love it!
Her knitting patterns are just so much fun.
