Not much knitting is going on here, just a little on the green socks. We have been working hard on the victory garden and chasing squirrels. In the meantime, I will show some more of the fashions from the Spinnerin Volume 132 from 1955. The sheath below was made to be worn with whichever neckline was preferred in the front. The pattern stitch is done in two colors and uses slipped stitches and lifted stitches.
The description for the following dress reads, "You can watch TV while you knit this sheath in two straight panels or on a circular needle...there's no shaping to worry about." The neckband is a crocheted band of interlocking rings that is sewn to the top of the dress. The dress is knit of a textured yarn at 7 sts/inch.
The following two pictures show a dress and matching jacket. The description says that the jacket is a 'drawstring' jacket, but the model's pose prevents us from seeing the bottom except for the hanging tie. The dress is a sheath with interesting rib details and contrast bands on the sleeves and neckline. It is knit of a dress yarn with ribbon yarn used for the contrast borders. At 8 sts/inch, this would have been a lengthy project.
My goals for this next week are to finish up those green socks and to start assembling the cafe cardigan, but then I say that every week.
