Good morning all.
A scheduled post for you today so I can pop over to Erika's with a Golden Oldie. Sharing some knitting today...another find whilst sorting out the loft last week.
This was my all time favourite matinee coat, I just love the lacy pattern...the boys had it in white, Gary's had lemon trim and Mark's had blue. Very delicate in 3 ply wool the picot edge is crocheted. It knitted up very quickly as the back and fronts are all one piece. Lora wore this one on her christening day so it obviously didn't take me long to knit as we didn't know she was going to be a girl in advance!
Enjoy your weekend whatever you're up to. We're off to Rome tomorrow...looking forward to seeing the sights.
Morning Carol.........Gosh l remember knitting those Matinee Coats l just love the pattern you used and still looking as though it can be used again today you have kept it so well and how lovely it was used for Lora's Christening too! simply gorgeous as always x
ReplyDeleteOh my this brought back memories of knitting for my 2 boys when they where babies. I so enjoyed knitting baby clothes. This is wonderful too and love the pattern.
