Sharing for fun.

These teeny tiny little sweaters are all hand knitted! Artist Althea Crome describes herself as a micro knitter. She uses silk sewing thread (instead of yarn) and polished surgical wire instead of traditional needles.

Thank you to F***y Patricia Sepulveda for locating a video of Althea talking about making her wonderful pieces of art at https://youtu.be/NQCf8fjgoJQ

Definitely take some time to check out Althea's website - you'll not be disappointed - at https://www.altheacrome.com/micro-knits

I am making up a batch of #1800 candlesticks. This operation is counter-boring the bottom for the wiring. Made in Maine, U.S.A.
