Above is my best example of the excesses of the early 90’s, complete with gold metallic and eyelash yarns. Be honest, who among us who knitted at that time didn’t have at least one skein of eyelash yarn in the stash? I was all set to apologize for the fabulous hideousness of these massive works, and then I tried them on for the first time since 1991 to find to my shock that they actually look kind of good on. I guess I’ve lived long enough for my old stuff to be interesting again. I will say that I created some very good gradients and color blending. I might someday revisit the coat in different yarn than the bargain bin cotton yarn I used way back then.
