In The Family

I thought I'd share with you today a lovely blazer that my aunt knitted for herself at least 35 years ago. She made this blazer based upon a pattern from the 40's. You can tell that this yarn would have been difficult to work with and require a lot of skill to knit with. I love the stories behind clothing and my aunt told me that the cashmere blend came from the Yorkshire Dales and the buttons and gold mesh are from France. She told me of the times she missed her "pub" outings to finish making this blazer and she had it lined so that it would wear more easily. It really is a lovely blazer and I'm happy she decided that I should have this. The beaded blouse is also...
