Chicago, Chicago, That Toddlin' Town

 


Off to stuff myself with culture for four days - Cendrillon and Carmen at the Chicago Summer Opera series, and then the Willem de Kooning exhibit at the art institute.

Whether this trip will include visits to two of my favorite Loop restaurants (Bereket and the Dearborn) remains to be seen.

Knitting - A Scrap Yarn Rug from 1950

 

From Workbasket magazine, September of 1950, and is another iteration on the theme of strip-knitted rugs.  This issue is my own, and is not yet up at the Antique Pattern Library site.
