I do research on and recreate garments and objects from the past. My sources range from original items to photographs in books, periodicals, art works, literary references and period patterns. My research also involves the history of knitting needles and related implements.
The portrait in the corner is by Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun (1755-1842) of Elisabeth Alexeyevna (?), location and ownership unknown.

Wicked drawing, I love how you've drawn the different ways it can be drawn, such as the neck rolled up over the head.
My own sketches tend strictly toward the stick figure, and I can't knit worth a damn!
It is amazingly philosophical.
Thank you for all of your comments.
Now I have to turn pencil lines and philosophy into reality!
