Vintage Knits (Vogue Knitting on the Go! Series) by Trisha Malcolm (Editor)

From the Publisher

Your lifestyle may be contemporary, but your appreciation of the past makes you a devotee of the in-vogue look of yesterday’s fashions. Argyle socks, fur-trimmed jacket, booties and bonnet set for babies, duck-motif pullover for kids, cable knits and cardigans, men’s scarf and striped vest, woman’s plaid slippers, and pullover with collar. More than 20 retro patterns. “A good choice for any public library knitting collection.”—Library Journal.

Library Journal

These two volumes are the newest additions to the Vogue "Knitting on the Go" series, which features small-format pattern books designed to be easily carried in a knitting bag. Baby Gifts features contemporary designs by well-known designers such as Sasha Kagan, Nicky Epstein, Jo Sharp, and Jean Moss, while Vintage Knits includes patterns reminiscent of knitwear styles from the 1920s to the 1970s. Patterns are graded by level of difficulty from very easy to expert, with most settling into the intermediate range. Readers of Vogue Knitting magazine will recognize the excellent instructions and illustrations; librarians will be pleased that these latest additions to the series appear to have sturdier bindings. A good choice for any public library knitting collection, but if you can only purchase one, Baby Gifts will give you more knockout designs for the money. Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
