Bohus Conversion!

I went to the Radiant Knits exhibit on Friday. Not because I had any desire to knit a bohus, but because many members of the guild would be there and I want to see them. Of course when I got there the situation changed. The sweaters were beautiful: soft, elaborate wearable works of art that stand the test of time. The presentation was amazing. Since this art was nearly lost many years ago, it took some very talented women to resurrect it. The amount of work that went into dying the yarns to get them as close to the colors of the original patterns is only exceeded by the amount of time required to knit a bohus.

Ellen knit one that she wore that night, and of course she was one of the bells of the ball. She started working on it last June or July/ Isn't it beautiful!

You know, I think I might worked up the gumption to knit a bohus... I really liked the azalea pattern and the rose large lace. But we shall see. We weren't supposed to take photos at the museum, but they let us take pics following the presentation. Here is what I captured.
Twinset Ellen wrote a several more comprehensive posts on the event than I did. So, a quick trip over to Twin Set will provide more info!
