Old Shale scarf

This is my very favourite of the old Shetland lace pattersn, a simple two row pattern but so effective. I'm knitting it in handspun singles Southdown. The spinning's not perfect, but it looks OK so far.

Old dolls clothes patterns

A friend on the forum was kind enough to send me these when she was having a clearout - I think they're fabulous. I like knitting these old dolls' patterns, I find them very nostalgic, having loved dolls when I was wee. These are all knitted in 3 ply, which is still fairly easily available (if you know where to look LOL) for baby clothes and shawls. I might try and get some done for the WI market - it's a popular seller for grannies to buy apparently! Would be nice to use such old patterns again and keep them going.
