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.

Ooo exciting! I'm curious as to what you will knit! At the moment I'm knitting some WW1 comforts as well, see: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/Welmode
Thanks! I'm off to look at your projects!
