"Warm as fur coat & twice as chic - my thick bouclé handknit Noh
coat - I'll wear it day and night / over evening clothes, too," Bonnie
Cashin for The Knittery, c. 1977. For The Knittery, Cashin linked small mills in England with a group of "little old ladies" knitting in upstate New York. Owing to this endeavor, she was called a "one-woman U.N.," but her attempts to unite these disparate cultural groups floundered. She found that her dear, gifted lady knitters had problems sticking to the schedule of wholesale and retail deadlines. |
