Loopy Vintage Knit

Another one for all those vintage aficionados out there! I found this delicious knitting pattern for a loopy bolero jacket in a vintage shop. I remember knitting something very similar back in the dark ages! Loopy knits take an enormous amount of wool but are very warm and cosy. Enjoy!

Stitching for Victory

If you like vintage, make do and mend and a bit of history, you will LOVE this book. Suzanne Griffith has written an amazing book on war time stitchery. (I'm mentioned in the credits for my research into stitch and occupational therapy!) Available on Amazon and in museum shops.
