We would like to thank Kate for sending in pics of her finished sweater. She knit the Sheer Lace Blouse and it looks great. I can’t believe how nice her knitting is, especially with such fine yarn. Kate used a vintage crochet cotton. And is a really fast knitter. I wish I was that fast.

 

 

From Kate: 

"I thought you might be interested to see the jumper I made from the lovely pattern I bought from you in August. I love it so much I am making another one straight away :)"

"I like to knit old patterns using old yarns, and I don't worry too much if the yarn I want to use is not the same ply or weight as the pattern was written for."

“This is a really great, easy to follow pattern that was fun to knit. I used 3.25mm needles for the basque and 4.5mm for the torso and sleeves. The only variation I made to the pattern was that for the sleeve top decreases, I only made one decrease per row, where the pattern calls for two per row.”

 

 

You can find the pattern here.  

Our thanks again to Kate. She made a lovely sweater. I'm a little jealous of her knitting skills. 

Don't forget to check out the Vintage Yarn Wikia page for questions regarding vintage yarn weights.

Happy knitting!
