Renaissance Inspired Muffin Cap in Brown Cable Knit – Upcycle

About Gemini Vintage

I am Christine of Gemini Vintage. I inherited/learned crafting from my mother and grandmother. My grandmother was born in 1909 and was quite good at cooking, sewing, crochet and knitting. She taught me three of those four skills and the other one I learned in school (you guess which, ha!). These useful and charming crafts seemed to have skipped a generation or two and many of our mothers and grandmothers no longer know how to do them. Because of this, I consider these to be vintage crafts, even when they are used to create modern items. I do create a lot of upcycled accessories. I enjoy the creativity that goes into the creation of upcycled items and I love that they don't look mass produced. I live in an agricultural community which grows a lot of cotton and I see first hand the amount of pesticides used in the production of cotton. While I don't seek out organic cotton, I do believe in the concept of reuse. There is a plethora of materials already out there, just begging to be created into something new.
