Anybody here remember Forerunner from old HT? I saw someone in a bulky knit sweater and remembered his beautiful sweaters. Just wondering if he's still knitting. His sweaters were artwork.

I remember him and his sweaters. Are bulky sweaters in style, ‘cause I saw one and thought of him too.

Anybody here remember Forerunner from old HT? I saw someone in a bulky knit sweater and remembered his beautiful sweaters. Just wondering if he's still knitting. His sweaters were artwork. Very UNIQUE fun guy! Jack of all trades! Lots of real life experiences …. including loosing his wife very unexpectedly at a very young age …. Very intensely interested in extreme composting. Essentially taught himself to knit …. Developed his bulky knit sweaters without a pattern. He would use 8 or 10 strands of yarn! Met him many years ago at a Homesteading Day held at the Cyndi and Paul Mutter farm in northern Ill. That was another memorable day. Collected sweet clover for making tea. Hitched up a team of big work horses for wagon rides. (Forerunner trimmed their hooves) We butchered chickens…. We had a big outdoor fire and sang songs …. Told (listened to) lots of stories. Marc brought raw milk for making ice cream ….. Ernie was a cool dude! Several others brought their families and set up their tents and campers. A bazillion mosquitoes 🦟 joined the party 😲😵💫 Paul got the forge fired up and demonstrated some blacksmithing techniques….. A good, good time! . |

Wish I did! The greatest # of strands I've used was 3 and it took size 13 needles. I wonder what he used for needles with 8-10 strands. Broom sticks? Wow. I'm impressed.
