Vintage Cami 1944


It is amazing what you can find in book shops. I came across a 1964 Stitchcraft and they seemed to be just as interested in vintage designs as we are today. Here is a beautiful knitted cami from an age when people had the time and inclination to knit such things. I think though given the shortage of materials during WWII and especially this late in the war, it was something of an aspirational design even then.

Vintage knitting

On one of my many quests for all things vintage I came across a really super Patons and Baldwins knitting pattern yesterday. I really love the fit, the closely spaced buttons and the round neckline. For those knitting aficionados out there it is on size 11 and 13 needles. If anyone would like any more informatation about it, just post comments on the blog.
