Damask Knitted Shirts for Kings and Common Folk // Casual Friday 3-08

In this abbreviated Casual Friday podcast, I explore the relationship between the knitted silk vest/waistcoat/undershirt King Charles I wore to his execution and Traditional Danish Sweaters (nattrøje), I have an update on my Roaring '20s vintage sweater project, and I dip into the series of knitting manuals published in the UK in the 1940s written by Margaret Murray and Jane Koster.
