Althea Crome is an amazing artist that creates knitted miniatures,again,amaziling done!They are perfect!Here we have a little about her.

"......In my work you will see tradition and innovation combining and merging in surprising ways. As a miniaturist I have learned the importance of proper scale, as a knitter I have come to respect the art of traditional technique and pattern design and as an artist I rejoice in adaptation, discovery and experimentation. Traditional formats and styles provide the basic framework for my pieces, and suggest a range of likely motifs; the manner in which these motifs are selected, adapted, altered and combined is then left to my own imagination and desire for innovation. Every one of my knitted miniatures is rooted in tradition, but none are mere replicas of existing patterns or styles. It is with a spirit of continued curiosity and a desire to create new and original pieces that I will continue to pursue my love of knitting within the limitless possibilities of this miniature scale."
