Despite not going outside due to an injured foot, I wore my new sweater today. I took several 1920's knitting patterns for inspiration and came up with this (sorry it's a bit of a dark photo, still experimenting with lighting!):
Before the foot injury, I did manage to get to my favourite antique store for the first time this term. I bought a big bag of buttons, some gloves that actually fit (!), and some clip-on earrings (which I will likely convert to something else).
That's All.
Love the cake stand idea for storing pretty things! I've been looking for some cream cotton crochet gloves but they all seem way too small, I only have little hands so I'm wondering if they have just shrunk when washed or does anyone else have this problem?
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love your sweater! Just taken a couple of 20s knit patterns from Ravelry and you've totally inspired me to crack on with them now :)
ReplyDeleteThe cake stand idea is fantastic! Just right. :)
ReplyDelete@Paperdoll: I have a huge problem finding gloves that fit, but I have big hands. I half wonder if people just used to have smaller hands because my great-grandmothers wedding ring won't even fit on my little finger :( Nice to know I'm not the only person that has problems fitting into vintage gloves.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great looking sweater! I also have problems with gloves. My hands aren't perhaps the biggest ones, but fingers are so damn long, I even have longer fingers than most guys, so few vintage gloves suit me...
ReplyDeleteLove the cake tray, what an ingenious idea for all your bows! xox
