Show us your vintage knitting and crochet!
I found some 3-strand wool!!! I'm going to have a hissy fit about sizing then start, I hate clothing sizes, I only want measurements! I'm going to give it a go on my wool and see if it'll knit up smaller than a 36", otherwise it'll be a Birthday present for my Mum.. Like most of my other...- Aurora

Cute Vintage-y Shoes
Just a quickie - I've suddenly found myself obsessed with wanting to buy some saddle shoes BUT, I don't usually go in for the 50's look and stick to 30's & 40's... My question is: Did pre-50's saddle shoes only have leather soles? Re-Mix have a pair but with red rubber soles, how authentic...- Aurora

Vintage Knitting!
Miss Sis - The Riding jumper photos would be good in "Show Us What You Made" Don't get me started on resizing, I could rant for days!! If a pattern is a 34" and I want it to be a 32", I just try and knit really tightly and take the seams in a little more than I should... Anything larger and I...- Aurora

Footwear for Winter
ShrinkingViolet - I love those boots, they look so snug - I had a look (like I'm everyone is doing right now), and they're not my size either! :( My lovely bootees, 1940's (?), Lightning zip, but cracked soles (Going to get them repaired when I've saved up enough money) How come repro...- Aurora

How vintage are we?
1986 30's & 40's are my idea of vintage, with a splash of 50's for good measure- Aurora

The ones that got away
I just had a look at myus.com, but you have to pay them by credit card (if I've read it right), and I don't have a credit card. I did ask the seller if I could bid then have them sent to an address in the US (my Mama has a friend in Arizona), but no reply! I'll just have to make my own :)- Aurora
