It was very flippant of me to talk about yesterday's rain being cosy and atmospheric, because today the weather has progressed to a civil emergency... much too much rain altogether, and major flooding and slips in my town (we're so lucky that our house is unharmed, though.) So please stop now sky, thank you.
I thought these great photos of knitwear models from the 1960's might cheer- they make me smile anyway. Especially the hairstyles. I have photographic proof that my English grandmother knitted many sweaters just like these in the 1960s and 70s... matching family fair-isle sets, even.
These photos came from a vintage craft book in my collection: McCall's Needlework in Colour from 1964.
Thanks for helping me out with my etsy shop sale! I will keep the coupon code active until tomorrow morning, then the sale will finish. All orders from yesterday have now been shipped, my fingers are crossed that most will reach their destinations before Christmas.
Wishing you a safe and happy Thursday.
