Fisherman's Muse ~ single printed pattern**
On a visit to the Isle of Arran in Scotland some years ago, I (LB Handkntis) met a woman who told me a story. Whether this story is true, of course I cannot say. But that image - of the girl using the hem of her frock as a fishing net - has played on my imagination ever since. Subtly nautical in construction and edged with the classically Scottish Old Shale lace motif, Fisherman’s Muse is a tunic with an asymmetrical hem - a detail playing homage to the tug of that magical haul.
