Last night was my company Holiday Party, and we're doing really well, so it was held at the Museum of Fine Arts (Boston)
I was so happy that also included the Styled by Sargent exhibit, of John Singer Sargent paintings and the actual articles of clothing alongside them.
Now, you have probably seen this painting of Lady Macbeth
But have you seen the costume she's wearing??
It's gorgeous, obviously.
But that texture! It's *crochet*
And some knitting
Really simple crochet too; just a chain and single crochet lattice with beads and metallic thread added for this chain mail effect.
Despite John Singer Sargent being an expert painter of fabric (no, really, just look at it), I never knew Lady Macbeth's costume had to be *hand crocheted* for that texture in the painting.
Anyway I'm gonna be making myself some faux-chainmail by crocheting it for the next Renn Faire

Tim, sitting in the corner muttering to himself: oh god, oh god, oh gOD
Dick: what's wrong Timmy?
Tim: I forgot not everyone speaks internet
Dick: um... Ok. Ya wanna be more specific
Tim: I was discussing Macbeth with Jason and he was going into how Lady Macbeth is the brains and how much better she is than Macbeth
Tim: so I said "Every girlboss needs a malewife and the Macbeths were just THE toxic girlboss malewife duo"
Tim: and everyone stopped to stare at me, and someone asked me what malewife was

The competition was tough but at the end of the day you simply can't outdo the do-er!
