Finished summer sweaters

This is another from Rowan, Tribe from magazine 51. The original had a colourwork pattern, that I might attempt one day. This is a cotton yarn version for summer.

 

 

 


This is from a Rowan free pattern called Windsor. I knitted it without the collar, in a cotton yarn, altering the depth of the rib along the bottom and also making the button band smaller

First scarf I have made in years

When learning to knit, you go through a scarf making phase and then leave them behind and do more exciting things. Getting some free yarn (Amy Butler organic by Rowan ) and free book of "Rowan's Greatest Knits" from the Knitting & Stitching Show last week inspired a scarf knitting week. The pattern is called Dew and it was much easier than it looks.

"This Attractive Affair" is finished

This is a 1930's pattern from "A Stitch In Time" Vol. 2 by Susan Crawford and Jane Waller.

Available from Amazon, Susan's website and at Prick Your Finger in Bethnal Green.

Something exciting arrived in the post

I've treated myself to a wonderful (yet a bit baffling on first glance) sampler of scans of a '20-'50 dresscutting system made by Haslam. An enterprising eBay seller has been collecting the booklets published in this era and scanned them, as they are in the public domain. The system looks tricky to follow for the self taught seamstress like me, but the Illustrated Book of Drafting for every year, or in some cases every season, have so many potential vintage dresses to make that I couldn't resist. The full disc of scans is pricey, so till I've made something from the sampler I'll hold off buying it.

Here is a couple of extracts from the disc (which can be found here: Haslam Dresscutting 30s-50s Booklet Scans)
