Loneril & Regan
Goneril (left)is the eldest daughter of King Lear and the Duchess of Albany. While many of you probably know her from your encounters with william Shakepeare's play King Lear, this pattern is not inspired by that Goneril. No, in fact, this pattern was inspired by a different Goneril:the Goneril in Christopher Moore's Fool. She's a little bit naughty, and quite a bit greedy. If Goneril could knit, she's the kind of woman who'd definitely keep these socks for herself. Regan\* (right) is the second daughter of the same King Lear, and is Duchess of Cornwall. This Regan is also not the Regan you are familiar with from Shakespeare's grand production. The Regan from Christopher Moore's Fool is a cruel, sadistic, and selfish woman. If Regan could knit... well, let's be honest, Regan would never knit. But she wouldn't be shy about using knitting needles tostabherenemies orinsome other illicit manner. \* Originally released as Reagan. Thanks, spellcheck.
