Just finished this yesterday, it&#39;s for my nephew Sebastian. Not a vintage pattern, but pretty classic. I dyed the yarns with frosting dye. (It&#39;s colorfast   [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img] )

Thank you so much&#33; I&#39;m glad you like it.

*hee* Considering how long it takes to knit, you would be bankrupt if I charged by the hour&#33; [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

I wish I could post the one I just finished, but my bl**dy photo software went wonky and needs to be re-installed...and now we can&#39;t find the disc [various blue curses].

Some of the 30s ones are really quick (in so far as knitting can be "quick", that is). There are quite a number on larger needles. Also many in crochet (not my thing yet).

Check out Iva Rose Reproductions, if you haven&#39;t already. She&#39;s got a killer selection of that stuff--oh, and check THIS out:

It&#39;s a vintage patterns knit along...some gorgeous things are being made.

I was all set to make the "Persian lamb" cape, yarn picked out and everything, until I got the book in the mail and realized it took a ton of yarn and was going to cost me a fortune&#33;

Yes, actually.

Try eBay if you can&#39;t find old yarn warehouses, but those warehouse places (or big lots stores) will have a better, cheaper selection.

I imagine you need a bouchle type yarn? I&#39;ve found that on cones...a wool/nylon blend. The wool looks homespun, and it&#39;s plyed with a strand of nylon. Kind of bumpy, just right for fake mouton.


Oh, hey...you&#39;re in San Francisco? From what I recall, there are some great places there to yarn shop. Tell you what--I&#39;m going to see if there&#39;s a thread on Knitty for your area (for yarn shops and so on). I&#39;ll get back to you on it.

The last time I knit anything was in 1982 when I was a kid.  A christmas scarf for my Dad, with dropped stitches everywhere.  I think he still has it believe it or not.  I think it would be divine to have time to knit, but I don&#39;t even have time to water my lawn (poor dead thing&#33;).  I need sprinklers, and 36 hours in one day.

I have been working on hair flowers.... but that&#39;s everyday&#33;  Maybe when I get some of the new styles up I&#39;ll post some photos.

Retrokitten, you should post some photos your most recent hats&#33;  Have you seen these, everyone?  They are amazing.  I have already bought two, including the one with the green ribbon she posted earlier, and a custom order one&#33;  I can&#39;t stand how fabulous they are.

Oh my word. Those are AMAZING&#33;

I normally make all of my dresses since larger size dresses are hard to find or out of my budget. Here are two that I&#39;m selling on eBay.

Retrokitten, here it is, but this book was published in 1998, so I hope they&#39;re still around&#33;

"Professional supplies for working with fur. Catalog, &#036;3."

Cold tape is used to make the edges sturdy, sort of a bias tape for fur. There&#39;s also sticky flannel and another kind of tape, I forget what it&#39;s called, sometimes, I think, they are used in lieu of sewing.

You&#39;ll also need an exacto knife, if you&#39;re doing any trimming, and it should be cut from the skin side.

Hope this helps&#33;

Here&#39;s the 1934 set:




...and the hat I&#39;m making to go with it:





...and the sweater for my husband (so far):

That 1934 set is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I need to ake the time to learn to knit and crochet but with all the other hobbies I have there just isn&#39;t time. I&#39;ll be doig well if I can become a decent sewer. I can crochette a little and I have a pattern fro a cute fleted purse with a rosette that doesn&#39;t look too hard.
