The Knitting Fiend

Klu Lesley Grossenugly rips opens box filled with sample yarns, fishes out a letter, reads and exclaims, “Eddie! We have a commission from Lang.”

Peevishly, Eddie Ottmacher replies, “They manufacture such ‘traditional yarns’. Boring!” Klu, “Indeed!”

Eddie continues, “… and they have a reputation for ‘classic knits’. Boring!“. Klu, “Indeed!”

Eddie pouts. Laughing, Klu fishes out a ball of yarn, tosses it to Eddie, and says, “We get to change all that!”

The pattern to knit this sweater coat appears in Lang Yarns, Fatto a Mano NR. 150. As with many yarn manufacturers’ pattern periodicals, we are left to guess the copyright date.
