A question – what kind of vintage pattern do YOU want here?

A question – what kind of vintage pattern do YOU want here?

What kind of knitting pattern would you like me to post?

A jumper/sweater with crazily-high puffed sleeves from the 40’s?
An elegant knitted dress from the 50s?
More coloured plates?
More mens?
More childrens? (I’ve never posted kids stuff. I like kids, can’t eat a whole one though)

Tell me, and i’ll pick a suggestion at random, search through my massive, dangerously stacked collection* and post it to my blog for you.

*I keep saying that one day my combined fabric, wool and pattern stash will fall on me, crushing me to deal beneath its weight. My body will be found 5 days later, after my cat has eaten my face off. Not from hunger, but from spite.

And here’s todays second pattern – a really awesome lime-green and brown jumper from the cover of Woolworths Economy Knit Book, No. 29.

Look at her culottes! The shoulder pads! The atomic colour choice! I recommend looking at the picture in the large view and reading whats written on the front cover by the original owner…

  • Hi Sue!
    If you select the image, hold it down for a couple of secs. A popup box will open, select 'open in a new tab'. You should get a large image – let me know f you need a hand xx
