Luther Perkins - musician and knitter
Luther Perkins' knitting needles and a sweater for his wife.
Thanks to James V Roy for giving us permsission to use this picture.
Luther Perkins, perhaps one of country music's most innovative guitarists, was an integral part of the Johnny Cash story..... To help kill the time while performing on the road, Luther Perkins took up knitting. Not only did Luther knit this sweater for his wife, Margue, he knitted booties for the Statler Brothers to wear on the bus when they were opening for Johnny Cash.
Thanks to Rick for sending me this gem of knitting trivia from Scotty Moore's Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum site.
