Knitting fashions of the 1940s

[rantinghousewife]

Did anyone else get this book for xmas, been browsing through it and it is truly wonderful.

Ooh, how exciting, nobody thought to buy this for me I may have to get it for myself.

It is here if you want to spend your book tokens, it's absolutely wonderful.

although there was a very 40s baby coat pattern in Woman's Own recently - double breast, pixie hood and all

Oh that sounds interesting, do they have a website?

I can't knit but I love books like this.

Good reduction on Amazon, I will add it to my wish-list for my birthday I think!

I don't think so - will consult aunt whoo made said coat for dd...

I love those 40s baby coats, there was one in a vogue knitting mag last year, it was really lovely, don't have a baby to knit it for, though.

If I could find someone to give a baby to, I would have another one just so I could knit for it
