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.

Gasp!
Which it is growing, ain't it?
It sure is. I love the wool you've chosen, esp. the shade, its quite easy on the eye and very natural looking. Hurrah for you!
