Check Out Judith Durant’s Sweaters for Carousel

June 4, by Sarah White. 2 Comments

judith durant knitting for carouselThe worlds of knitting and Broadway might not mix often, but when they do, the result is pretty cool.

I love this story from the New York Times about the sweaters knit from the musical Carousel by Judith Durant, whose name you might know because she was an editor for Interweave. She was tasked with knitting 13 sweaters for the cast, but she ended up enlisting the aid of other knitters to help her meet the deadline.

The sweaters are made of acrylic so they can be washed daily, and they’re meant to look like the men knit the garments themselves so there are intentional mistakes. They are tight fitting and most feature horizontal stripes.

Durant said she gained 10 pounds and binge watched a lot of TV while working on the sweaters, sometimes working from 6 am until 2 am the next day.

From the results — and the Tony nomination for show’s costume designer — the effort was well worth it.

    How about a link to the article, or the name of the article or journalist who wrote it?
