Classical Knitting


  With the Harlot's recent post, it seems to be the perfect time to blog about the knitting that I did at the CANE Summer Institute.  For some reason, Classics seems to attract a lot of knitters.  

During the Institutes, I took these sleeves from the top edge of the ruffle to their current spot, at the beginning of the sleeve cap shaping:

The yarn really is lovely, but it splits very easily.  I think the cardigan is going to be really cute once it's done.  


Also in Classics, having read excerpts from the Pharsalia while I was at the Institute, and now reading the Aeneid, I feel that Lucan might appeal to the teenage demographic a bit more.  He wrote about javelin snakes shooting through the air.  His poetry was not as polished, but I can see high school students eating it up with a spoon.
