The 1930's Family

I'm in heaven at the moment! Why? Because the postman brought a package today - a vintage knitting book!

The 30's Family Knitting Book by Jane Waller. This is the same woman who wrote A Stitch in Time so I know her choices are so wonderful!

This book was published in 1981, so the cover shows a typical 80's family in retro-looking knits. But when you open the book, the patterns and photos are directly from 1930's British sources! What a find!

Here are some beauties:

The most beautful sweater!! Imagine it in powder blue cashmere!

...and a useful sweater for the Army woman...

I have to make some of these this winter!

Now I must go and warm up. I've been outdoors in the snow and I can't stop shivering and shaking!
