Episode 26: Going old School




It's a Purl, Man » Podcast Feed show

Summary: I am accompanied on this episode by the fantastic Stitchy McYarnPants. We take a trip in her Museum of Kitschy Stitches to find some of the origins of the male patterns. She has promised to add images of the exhibits on her site. Some background, I have the following categories of male sweater patterns: Mud Colors (most sweaters for guys are grey, black, navy, brown, or some combo of such) Man Stripe (think abercrombie and finch) The Cosby Sweater (nuff said) Cable, rib, gansey (usually in a mud color) NEW Lil Boy’s (upsized childrens sweater) NEW Women’s Matchy (designed for her first and should have been left at that) Please comment about this show, I am really interested in anything you have to say about the guy man issue. MUSIC : Katrina’s Sitch and Bitch by Kentucky Jelly IMAGES: Sttchy has posted the images in this post
