Today we are going to bypass the sweaters and look at some accessory patterns from 1953. The cover shows scarves and mittens for him and her. Look how wide the scarves are. These are serious 'Keep You Warm' scarves. That guy looks a lot like the actor who played the weird new roommate on Friends, the one with the fishy cracker.
This handbag looks almost contemporary. The handles look a little like I-Cord, but no, they are crocheted, and the whole bag is lined with fabric.
Here is a very nice assortment of socks, including cables, ribs, and argyle, some short and some knee length.
Looking at these hat patterns would make one think that it did not get too cold during the fifties, because the hats are certainly on the skimpy side. The man's hat is more of a beany, perched up there on the top of his head like that.
The yellow stocking cap is OK, but why is the pompom dangling from it by a very thin and very long thread? The girl in the white skating cap looks a little like Pam on The Office.
Two attractive and warm-looking stoles. I especially like the black and white striped stole worn with a black dress and pearls.
Still working on the last sweater front. I haven't knit much on it for a few days, but perhaps the weekend will help.
