Knitting my brow


I have spent a good few months tracking down the knitting pattern for this little number.

The pattern just arrived and, hells teeth, it is K1,P1 rib all over, on 2.75mm needles and what seems to be lace weight yarn. It is also tiny in the bust.

Resizing it, then knitting it...I don't think I have either the knitting knowledge nor the stamina.

In any case, feast your eyes on it and on some other delights from Stitchcraft, May 1938.



Yes, it is sideways, No, I can't be bothered to rotate it right now.

    Oh my god! That green cardigan on the bottom is absolutely divine!! I must find a pattern for that one. YUM! Thanks for sharing, I just started the bobble jumper from Vintage Purls yesterday. I've never done a lace pattern like that but it's turning out lovely

    That cardigan is amazing! I have loads of Stitchcraft but not that one - I must now find myself a copy!
    As Brittany said, K1 P1 is a pain but totally worth it to get to wear something as beautiful as that! :o)

    Well Tasha (by Gum by Golly) had a really good tutorial on how to resize something :) And I can tell you from experience that K1P1 rib becomes easier and faster the more you knit it ;)

    OMG! That green cadi is beautiful! Another vote for Tasha's tutorial on resizing. Without that tutorial, I would never use vintage patterns because they are always too small for me. http://blog.bygumbygolly.com/2011/02/briar-rose-vintage-kal-resizing.html

    You should begin by controlling your behavior and then look for ways to
    distract yourself from fantasizing. As for coping with temptation, this is where your commitment comes into play and the upcoming preparing that
    you do. Keeping a long distance relationship alive can be a
    real challenge.
