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...- Miss Hattie

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...- Miss Hattie

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...- Miss Hattie

….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...- Miss Hattie

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...- Miss Hattie

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...- Miss Hattie

Vintage Knitting!
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...- Miss Hattie

Vintage Knitting!
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...- Miss Hattie

Vintage Knitting!
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...- Miss Hattie

A question for the Brits (or whoever can answer)
Nothing Useful I once heard a man say that the only part of his de-mob suit that actually properly fitted him was his tie-! Well there you are, my little bit of useless information I thought I would share and it did make me chuckle so at the time!:o Hats x- Miss Hattie

1930s Wardrobe
I have plenty of local charity shops around my neck of the woods, so I’ll have to keep an eagle eye. I also help out in one and I’m still waiting for a steamer trunk to be handed with clothes on the hangers and goodies in the draw- hasn’t happened yet! :rolleyes: Thanking you both for all...- Miss Hattie

Thank you :Thank you for that (was exactly what I wanted to know.;) ) They look like a super set and the colour is lovely too.

1930s Wardrobe
Wow they are some neat wardrobes you’ve got there! Really does put my meagre 32’’ of hanging space to shame. :o Please tell me are the wardrobes with the glass-fronted draws down the one side called a Gentlemen’s Wardrobe? I only ask as I fancy one and would like to make a detailed and...- Miss Hattie
