Vintage patterns

All patterns are from R.S.V.P
20's sports cardigan

30's beret

30's golf mittens

30's tilt hat

40's fez hat

40's Victorian corset

40's wartime waistcoat, gay gloves, sheik turban, etc.

40's wartime sandals

50's hat corsage

50's safari jacket

60's pincushion slippers

60's mod bag

60's raffia hat and bag

So buying these. I'm only a beginner knitter, but it will be great to have these patterns, especially the hats, since a milliner is my dream job.

Furry Fashion

By Pauline Borca. I originally saw some of these pictures on Style Bubble and was immediately drawn in by the sculptural knits. Take a closer look and see. Animal heads make it even better.

Ugly Knits

All images are from the latest Mary Maxim catalogue, which the previous woman (religious mother of a growing family who incidentally shares the same first name as my mum) who lived in my house subscribed to and which we still get sent anyway.. I'm into the saintly bizarro grandma look. I come from cold-ass-fuck Canada so anything that looks like a blanket is something I want to wear. Mmm delicious warmth.




Elf slippers
I would like to see some patterns for non-christening adult bonnets.

If this is a christian knitting store then why the hell is there a baby with thigh-high socks on? I would wear this. Sexiest look and its on a baby, religious knitters are weird.



This pin is bizarre, its a gold safety pin with Christmas trinkets and a watch. Holiday steam-punk grandma.
What a fantastic gift idea, just knit a faux-gift over a tissue box.

Why I need to learn to knit


Considering I wear three to five layers of clothing a day, hand-made knits turn me the fuck on. I would make slippers for everyone this holiday.
