*Greenock BK7: Pretty vintage knitting pattern for a short sleeved fair isle jumper. This one is so typical of the time, my mother said she made one just like this the month before she joined the WAAF in 1940 - and wore it untill after she had me, which was in 1949! Knitted in vintage 3ply, so use modern 4ply and work a tension square to make sure you donet needl to change needles to get the correct size. The instructions are for 32 inch bust, if made in thicker wool or on larger needles you could go upto a 34 inch bust, see how many stitches you knit to an inch in the wool chosen and change needles to get the size you want.

*Hayfield 3095: Great vintage knitting pattern, just ready for the coming skiing season. Very pretty, retro cowl neck sweater and hat and mittens, this pattern is from the 1950s, bit of the Audrey Hepburn here, I think! This would make a great project for the coming winter months and can be worn in the January snows. Worked in double knitting so quite a quick knit. With charts and written instructions. Instructions for 32-38 inch bust. Knitted on quite fine needles to give a dense fabric - but you can go up a size to make the knitting easier, just work a tension square first so that you work to the correct size. Colours suggested are white and green, but white and blue or red would look just as great - or even the modern purple! Wow the slopes this winter! Pattern is in very good condition
