Nicely put together Miss Sis- very elegant. I have a fondness for pistachio green and white together always so fresh looking. The pattern looks like it knitted up well too. I say this with complete envy as my latest and first project on the knitting machine is going hideously wrong. I can...

Just about caught up again with this thread- it’s been a while since I last posted. What a lot I have missed too! Miss Sis Your 20’s knitteds are just.. Well, quite honestly divine!:D I’ve never seen anything like it in my travels (only in photos and knitting patterns!). The dress is...

I'm in love! Hullo there shipmate! Wow, Michou you look fantastic! That little sailor style cardigan would certainly be a dream pattern of mine, just too adorable for words. I’m in love with all your knits to date but this is by far my favourite (at the moment!) Well done! Well that’s...

Please, please do show off your woollen wonders- all are welcome here! I’ll look forward to seeing them, as your avatar jumper looks lovely….;) Welcome to the forum michou1930- Andrea too. Hats x

NOOOOOOOO WAAAAAY! :eek: It’s never on is it? You are the tops- I would of never of known it was on otherwise! Thanks!

Funnily enough that’s something I wanted to know too. I was searching ebay a few days back and found these (Oops no live auctions pleasee. -scotrace) Thinking my luck was in; I clicked on the item, only to be disheartened when looking at the measurements. Alas they are just about the right...

….And on another note! Remember that the stated garment size is an old size 16 so this would mean a 34-inch bust- the stitches may only come to 27 inches on 15 (000 or 10mm) needles but then again imagine how it will stretch! And to conclude- I only said that the tension/ gauge is worked out...

Metric-10mm (1cm) Original English and Australian size or canada and South Africa size =000, Us 15 Any help?

Haha I think it should be the Fedora Lounge challenge to see if anyone can do it! I say… Stop watches at the ready! Don’t get me started with modern knitting patterns- they make me all confuzzed (haha spell checker would hate my version!) I’ll stick to the old’uns. all the best Hats

Wow I don’t even own 10mm needles :eek: (old English size 000!) Gosh are they big or what- I only usually knit with no.14- 8’s. Seeing as it says 4 stitches to and inch (which will mean using the larger of the needles) For us British I would imagine that the yarn would be like a chunky dk or...

Mine! Well I thought I would share one of mine. It’s my second attempt (well third if I include my odd sock…. don’t ask!:o ). This took an age to knit too- I started knitting it last September, did two months then gave up for the making of Christmas presents and then took it up again on and...

Very good point Kitty! I rushed in with a reply with out thinking about things properly. I just said what I saw in my book- that was resized knits on the wrong size models- they just didn’t fill them out enough to look right or they were too long!!! I would post pictures of examples but I’m not...

Gosh, sorry I totally didn’t even think of this- I’m sure you know the style of vintage knitteds quite well and therefore see that even sizes 38/40/42’’ are still trim and fitted and not baggy on the models at all (I’m speaking for the 30’s/40’s) Unlike the ones in the book I have! Does that...

I seem to live and breathe knitting at the moment- I truly am turning into a big knit!:D I only ever knit from old patterns (preferring 30’s and 40’s) and try and obtain the correct ply- if not I find a good substitute and knit to the correct tension. I don’t think you can beat the shaping and...
