Nice Work

Not the book, but researching and making vintage knits for films. It must be quite an industry these days. There's some lovely examples in the TV film of Ballet Shoes.

Here's Posy in a cute and complicated sleeveless top:



Petrova's less attractive slipover:



Posy in pink in spite of her hair:



Pink for Pauline as well:



Don't you love the collar on Sylvia's jumper?



There's more excellent knitting to be seen in the film of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. Any more examples?

A new career beckons! I like old patterns because I like the texture of knitting with small needles and three or four ply yarn.

I do too. I like the ability to get detail into my knitting - 4ply is my favourite weight.
