I must find a shop that stocks that yarn because I have a new patter that I want to knit and it would look rather splendid in that shade.<br />I like working with life (the wool!)- there is always so much yardage! I’ve recently knitted a cardigan in DK life and it only too 2 and bit balls- which is great for the girl with limited funds. ; )<br />Tupps xxxTickety Boo Tupney - A Dash OF Worcester Sauce.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10687044557427507111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226192409844736639.post-41281744081564887392012-10-25T06:02:02.505-07:002012-10-25T06:02:02.505-07:00Lovely jumper!

I found your blog while searching for a 1940's knitting pattern book and have browsed with interest. Have you found "Trove"? It's a project by the Australian National Library which is putting on line vintage knitting patterns printed in the Australian press before WW2. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/sources/trove/patterns )PipneyJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18361733342528469517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226192409844736639.post-81939924829964775902012-10-25T03:48:22.576-07:002012-10-25T03:48:22.576-07:00Its gorgeous and the Stylecraft Mint is a lovely c...Its gorgeous and the Stylecraft Mint is a lovely colour. I knit on long journeys in the car too! <br />I know it is not authentic to the eras but have you tried swiss darning the small amounts of change of colour? It is quite easy to do.<br />Julie xxxxxxx<br />PS Stylecraft does go a long way. I used to have a customer who would buy four balls in four different colours (four jumpers), then she would buy another colour a few weeks later and make a jumper from the leftovers!KC'sCourt!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16768777808237333266noreply@blogger.com
