Lady Meux Socks
Lady Meux, (1847 – 1910) was a Victorian socialite and the wife of Sir
Henry Meux, 3rd Baronet (pronounced “Mews). There is a famous portrait
of her by James Whistler, in which she is dressed in a soft gray and
light pink which was clearly the source of these colors for this yarn.
Needles: Size 1 dpn
Yarn: Twisted Sisters by SpinningFates on Etsy. Colorway: Lady Meux
Pattern: Plain vanilla
I am a wife, the mother of four grown sons, and nana to five grandchildren. I work part-time as a librarian/ archivist at a university library. I enjoy knitting socks, hats, mittens and other items for charity, reading, hand quilting, growing old-fashioned flowers, and bird watching.
