Coronation Knits


Brag, brag , brag. This week I received my giveaway prize. A copy of Susan Crawford's new book 
'Coronation Knits. If truth be known I would have bought it anyway.




 I was determined to enter the draw on every site of the blog tour until I won, but, as luck would have it I was first time lucky when I entered on Helene's super blog about knitting in Iceland
BTW, all the blogs on the tour are on my regular reading list.
.

 As some of you may know I only knit from  vintage patterns and have long been a Susan Crawford and Jane Waller fan....


and besides, it gives me another opportunity to show you a sweater I knit in the 80s from  a 1940s pattern published in 'A Stitch in Time' vol 1 modeled here, a couple of years ago by my granddaughter.

  1. I keep meaning to buy this book, seeing as I wasn't so lucky in the prize draw stakes! I must remember when I get home from the US :) I have both A Stitch in Time books and they're just gorgoeus... x
