by Adrienne Martini
Adrienne Martini is on a quest: a quest to knit a complex sweater. The pattern is called Mary Tudor, and it is designed by Alice Starmore. With an out of print pattern to procure, numerous skeins of unique yarn to purchase, and a not-so-firm grasp of Fair Isle knitting techniques, Martini seems almost doomed to fail.
And to make things worse, I just looked for the Mary Tudor sweater online. It is ugly.
So, in the process of knitting this sweater, our knitter talks to tons of fellow knitters (some famous, some not) and goes on and on about this Alice Starmore person. Two words, Ms. Martini: nobody cares.
