Rock On Gold Dust Woman
Rock On Gold Dust Woman……(thanks, Stevie)
This masterpiece of golden embroidered knitting was spun by Lainey Keogh–mistress of all things yarn. We discovered this amazing taupe-on-grey-on-bronze-with-gold coat at Kapsiki, (561) 832-7432, 235B Worth Avenue, Palm Beach.
While the pricing may seem worthy of something more 22 Karat (what’s $7400 plus tax among friends), the craftsmanship is evident enough to force even the most discerning eye to admit that the hours of work is there…..Hey, I spent days trying to finish a scarf that wound up looking more like North America (especially by the time I’d added about sixty knit/purl numbers trying to tie it off the needles) than a muffler.

I save this heavy duty stuff to the experts. (this is the disclaimer that usually follows warning you not to try this at home). Now, where is my feather Boa and platform boots, I’m ready for the Fleetwood Mac revival tour.

I can’t believe you’ve got a Lainey shot with gold thread, Yumyum! I’ve never seen anything like this at Browns. It reminds me of an Elizabethan embroidery. So beautiful. And it looks protectively warm, perfect for today!
