Update on my 1930s #crochet project. Still unsure about the construction- I did not resize the collar pattern or the sleeves. 🧶 Pattern from 1935.

My first time trying to mend a sock ended up being my first time trying the “Kitchener stitch” ;; I think #mending is deeply beautiful (even if my sock mend is so fugly she’s become cute). I am so happy to add this to my mending toolkit as a skill to practice and use. 🧶

Belt part of my 1930s #crochet and #knit project! Trying to figure out if I want to knit or potentially weave the long band that will go on top of ribbing. 🧶 I have a few mother of pearl buckles - so cute! 🧶

Be honest #knittersinthesky 🧶 is this bind off fugly? :-( learning to #knit foibles

Hubris is me learning TWO decreases in one lunch hour!!!! 🧶

I finished the bodice! I think the pattern alteration wants to like lengthen but bring back the shoulder and armhole. When I tried it on - I kind of wish the shoulder was more narrow - and have the sleeves start higher up. Will have to play around next time.

Learned a new decrease!!! Learning to #knit has been so fun :-))) 🧶

🧶 vintage crochet back piece is …done?

#vintagecrochet help! ☎️☎️☎️ if anyone could offer any insight on how to interpret these 1930s instructions I would be so grateful. “When you reach the neck, add stitches to each shoulder and leave off stitches for the back of neck” I’m working on the back piece! 🧶 #crochet

To sleeve or not to sleeve ahhh. In other news blocking is magic and I can’t wait to block this. 🧶 #crochet

The journey continues but is mostly chaotic… loosely sectioned by fiber ! #crochet #knitting 🧶

The yarn wall is finally happening!
all California fiber 💖 🧶🧶🧶🧶 (local mills, farms, dyers) my heart is racing! #fiberart

I have been working on a 60s (?) #crochet pattern and struggled to decipher the sleeve construction but how cool is the armpit gusset?? Decreasing shells !!!!!! 🧶🧶🧶 I had to restart the sleeve like 4 times..so I am feeling hopeful! #vintagecrochet

The pinpoint cast on saga in learning to #knit draws to a close (handful of cm left) 🧶

I think there is something beautiful and circular about slow making (and all it encompasses) for example #visiblemending and #darning a fuzzy ol wool sweater from the Paris flea gets a second life in my home in California.
February 25, 2025 at 7:33 PM
Well I guess I’ll get a chance to really practice the cast on as I remake this. I was supposed to have a whole other pie slice. Oof. 🧶😔

Learning to #knit - so far the hardest encounter has been the “pinhole cast on” 😔😔🧶
