fescue - pdf pattern
note: this purchase is for a pdf pattern. you will receive a download link upon purchase.
the forage collection digs deeper into canada’s fibresheds by highlighting multiple players within each region through a combination of interviews and accompanying patterns. the second collection focuses on alberta’s fibreshed. my interview with tin forest farm can be watched here.
is there anything more ubiquitous than tall grasses growing on the prairies? what many may not know is that there are numerous species of grasses, both cultivated and wild, that take up residence with their deep root systems. fescue is one of them, and there are many subspecies within its ranks. what you might recognize is the tufted tops that get a bad rap for causing the sniffles at harvest time.
these short boot toppers shouldn’t make you sneeze, making them a friendlier alternative for showing your prairie pride than batches of tall grass growing in your front yard. mixing simple cables and lace, these make for a quick and satisfying knit, and will maybe help keep some burrs from escaping into the top of your boot.
