New Digs! 07/22/2009
 

You may have noticed that things are looking a bit different around here!  We're in the process of transitioning our website to a new, much more easy to update format.

I hope you can bear with things as they improve and grow!  I've been growing my vintage knitting magazine collection exponentially, and plan to start bringing you some of my favorite things: no, not those great patterns (though those will continue, too) but, you see, lots of vintage knitters know that some of the most interesting things about vintage magazines are the vintage advertisements and photos - the bits at the edges - The Selvedge.

Hence the new name of this blog - I can't wait to start sharing!

If you have a funny, ironic, or otherwise fascinating vintage image or ad to share, contact us!  We'd love to feature it here.

Things are awfully busy here as we prepare to begin another school year, so please keep checking back for more dilligent updates, new free patterns, and new patterns to purchase for just $2.50!

It is finally progressing!  My super sweet 1930's sweater is on its way to being completed.  I have adopted a row counter and some stitch markers that my cute future husband got me -and it is amazing how such simple little gadgets have made my knitting project so much less stressful!

The garment is looking a touch small, I'm afraid, but the lovely ladies at my local yarn store assure me that you want to knit cotton garments to be skin tight and at a tight gauge because they will inevitably grow.  Well, I'm pretty sure I've got that down!

I hadn't realized from the pattern images that the purl side is the right side.  At first this had me concerned, but I've found that my purl side is actually looking even more standardized than my knit side.
