B. BLACK & SONS

Last week I accompanied my wife, Maggie Morgan (@maggiemorgan922), a costume designer, into the fabulous B. Black & Sons - specializing in wool and suit fabrics - in downtown Los Angeles. She is designing a suit for an actress in an upcoming adaptation of "1984" at the Aurora in Berkeley.

I asked for, and immediately got, permission to photograph the place, and these pics are the result from our brief visit. The last slide shows the swatch samples she will be working from. Many fine costumes for movies, television, and theatre - not to mention people's actual, real-life clothes (hello, Michelle Obama!) - have been built out of the fabrics from this place, which opened in 1922.

I never seem to talk about it anymore but I still make things! I have a ton of project photos that I'll be posting as I'm organizing my backups. This is an Iggy Peck sweater out of handspun polwarth, with needle-felted steeks.

#handspinning #handspun #knitting #much worn and loved #need to get snowed in at a cabin wearing this #stopped catching my floats after the first body repeat and it was the right thing to do #you can see the float catching contrast in the middle of the lozenge/diamond pattern #sweater is so fluffy and lightweight that the felted steeks don't add much bulk #woolen or semi-woolen yarn for stranded colorwork is my fave (this was the latter)#pip makes stuff

Done! Just in time for the holidays!

I'm so happy with it! It fits! It's so warm and cozy! The red is as amazing as I hoped it would be. 10/10 worth the effort.

I'm especially happy with managing to make actual sleeve heads that matched up with the bodice! I decided to completely cast of the sleeves, and I was afraid that the joining seam would end up bulky and weird, but it looks alright! I had to gather the sleeve head just a tiny bit at the top, but it doesn't show and I think just helps the fit.

The inspiration came from old folk costume from Dalarna in Swedish, where it was common with knitted sleeves on sewn bodices at the end of the 19th century. I love the red color and the bold patterns and decided to just... try something like it.

I made my own pattern in an Google speadsheet and started knitting the sleeves and this summer. The pattern is bulkier because I could not be arsed the knit as tightly as the originals were - not only are they made on tiny needles, they're made using twined knitting, where you use two ends of yarn and twist them together between every stitch. That makes an incredibly tight and dense fabric, aaaand it takes forever and ever. I made a pair of socks like that and I just didn't have the patience for a whole damn sweater. And I anyway wanted to knit the bodice too.
