Here's a work in progress page from our upcoming book which now has a subtitle - Curiosities - An Illustrated History of Ancestral Oddity. We all have oddballs in our families, but it's probably nothing like those in our story.
Text by the amazing Jonathan Ying, now road tripping around America. Here it is a bit larger and easier to read -
THE KNITTING COURT
Aunt Lacey was a knitting queen.
The best knitter of things you’d ever have seen.
Every day and night she’d knit.
Until she had a perfect fit.
In this little room at the end of the hall.
She knit a sweater for the fall.
In this little knit room with it’s little knit door
Her balls of yarn would litter the floor
She knit the bed and chair with ease.
She’d knit whatever you darn well please.
She broke her foot and knit a cast
She knit a ship’s sail on a mast.
She knit a cat, she knit a dog
She knit a bird, she knit a frog
Aunt Lacey was a knitting queen.
The best knitter of things you’d ever have seen.
She could knit most everything.
But she never found her knitting king.
