This is a catch -up post of the knitting I've been doing over the last couple of years. Actually, it might have to be a couple of posts but we'll see how this goes.
I've made a few vintage jumpers from patterns from the 1930s to the 1950s. I've made a design or three for
Renaissance Dyeing. There have been useful but not photogenic socks. Things I've neglected to photograph and are now not looking their pristine best. I've photographed some now but the results are not wonderful. Perhaps a selection will suffice.
I liked this little jumper I made for Renaissance Dyeing and the little model who posed so happily on a very raw day:
There was this hat:
And these socks:
And then for myself I used Renaissance Dyeing wool to make these:

A Paton's 1940s Fair Isle design |

Here are a couple of handspun efforts using alpaca and some angora:

A 1940s design, based, I expect, on Vera Lynn singing 'There'll be bluebirds over the white cliffs of Dover.' |

And another very warm and fluffy 1940s number | | | |

This beret and gauntlets I test knitted for
Marylene Lynx for Renaissance Dyeing:
And that, I think, is enough for today.

Wow, you have knitted some beautiful garments - I love the colours that you choose. Well done
What a wonderful record of your creativity! I think you neglect to mention that you not only knitted all those but designed most of them as well.
opps, that's me reading too fast. Of course you mentioned you designed them and may it long continue.
