Vintage Knitwear For Sale!

Sorting through the sister outlaw's stash of jumpers usually gives me a giggle or two. I'm always astounded at some of the crazy things people will design and render wool! For  example...a beach scene...

.. or a tropical island....

or how about tropical fish?

I mean, does someone go, "Well what would look good in a winter woolly garment? Um...I know... How about something hot and tropical?"

Our stall at the Fitzroy Market this Saturday the 19th of May will have every sort of knit you have ever thought of and some you could never imagine.

There will be....pretty knits...

 traditional knits...

 designer knits...

tartan knits...(complete with scotty dog) 

historic knits ...

 people knits....

 places knits....

 and even knitwear in 3D!!!

And that's just for starters!

Autumn!

Autumn is here. My favourite season. In the collage of images above you will find the re-sew-cool craft kits:echidna bag-tag, apple bag-tag, toadstool and fruit tree.

In the top left corner and bottom right corner there's sister outlaw Leanne's daughter Remy modelling the tree and owl brooches. In the top row you will find sister outlaw Lynne's amazing striped jumper baby quilt too. And can you spy my latest op shop finds that have an Autumnal feel? Orange tartan Lee pants, "twinkle toe" stockings and a large wooden bowl of fruit. Also, if you look really hard, there's a sneak peak at a foxy item I will show you more of tomorrow!!!

technicolor

Yesterday I felted cream and light brown jumpers and dyed them...

two different greens, pink and orange..

 

it certainly brightened up the clothes line.

All ready to cut up for kits....
