The Worsted Monster

Gorey’s play has been created as a star book capturing each of the play’s scenes. Built into the binding are two slipcases: one holds the play text and the other a portfolio approximating the format of the original printing in National Lampoon. Opening the enclosure, the viewer lifts the hand-knitted wool sleeve out of the box using a wool sock. Dimensions: 3” square x 1 1/4″, folding out to 24″ (book) ; 4 3/4″ square x 3 1/4″ high (enclosure). Materials: Mohawk Superfine paper, Epson Enhanced Matte paper, Mulberry paper, nonpareil‐patterned miniature marble paper, laval, three different bonded leathers, and wool. Edition lettered A to Z (26 copies) for sale with three out‐of‐series nfs. Sleeves were knitted especially for this project and coordinate with socks; colors vary over the edition.
