Case in point: the image I included with my aqua knit image had a lovely slender figure--and I actually thought the jumper looked superior on her...after looking at my posted pictures next to her I felt almost too busty. Alas, I hope I have not offended in pointing out that both are fabulous vintage looks!BaronessVonVintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329735134543431231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465295746865231888.post-85548962759109434462010-04-29T04:30:17.469-04:002010-04-29T04:30:17.469-04:00Oh Baroness, leave some hope to us skinny gals too...Oh Baroness, leave some hope to us skinny gals too!

Maybe do a sample square first, so you understand the pattern?<br /><br />Good luck in your next project! xKatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11171144428785297931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465295746865231888.post-89968295530133870772010-04-28T15:39:18.502-04:002010-04-28T15:39:18.502-04:00LOVE the last one with the clips!!!LOVE the last one with the clips!!!Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12668255845241284664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465295746865231888.post-22714987790517860252010-04-28T14:16:47.922-04:002010-04-28T14:16:47.922-04:00the first one is killin' me!the first one is killin' me!garofithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18065577910797773138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465295746865231888.post-18242921649606651102010-04-28T13:57:35.554-04:002010-04-28T13:57:35.554-04:00This sounds like a great book, and I've been m...This sounds like a great book, and I've been meaning to get back into knitting.

I tend to dive straight into things and then regret it later! :( If you have any suggestions for a beginner's project, let me know! Oh, those pics are so incredibly beautiful! I was just digging through a stack of my grandma's 1940's Mccalls needle art magazines the other day. So many patterns, so little knowledge!Brittany_Va-VoomVintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377031677999463069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465295746865231888.post-25058270871339417022010-04-28T11:36:00.372-04:002010-04-28T11:36:00.372-04:00I have this book too!
