Gale, Fair-Isle Gloves for Girls Knit on Two Needles
By Sarah on May 25, 2013 10:58 AM
Today's new free vintage knitting pattern is another pair of fair-isle gloves knit flat on two needles.
I've updated the terms used in the pattern and provided a colour chart of the fair-isle design to replace the original black and white chart.

Gale, sized for girls aged 7-9 years.

New Free Pattern! Pretty Summer Bed Jacket, in Knitting
By Sarah on May 24, 2013 3:12 PM
Today's new knitting pattern is a simple Summer dressing jacket from the 1930's/40's from the iconic Australian needlework publisher, "Madame Weigel".
This is a great pattern for beginner lace knitters as it's knit in one piece in a simple lace stitch and tied with ribbons at the side and front. No seaming anywhere!

All Fixed!

The Wiki is all fixed now!
I had accidentally copied over the old wiki files when uploading some files the other day so I had to reinstall it. Of course this meant that I downloaded the newest version of mediawiki and had to get my webhost to upgrade some software on my server so it would run. Ahem.
Let this be a lesson. Never refresh your website with a noisy toddler in the room :P
