I thought I would share a couple of my vintage knits.
This beaded beauty has been neglected for years. It has reminded me how much I love knitting with the added texture of beads, so I am going to keep my eyes open for a new project with beaded embellishments.
And this lace sweater was finished last weekend after spending quite a bit of time as a UFO. But thanks to Burda Style’s Dorset Button tutorial, I now have a finished project.
More pictures may be found over on my blog, Lilacs & Lace, here and here.
It is currently pouring rain outside, so I am going to pour myself some tea, and sit down with a pair of needles. Knitting is the perfect remedy for lousy weather.
P.S. I also sewed up the skirts for both outfits, so I hope that qualifies as the “sew” in sew retro!

My goodness Laura, is there anything you can’t do?
Your workmanship is first rate – these are gorgeously delicate.
They’re both lovely! It’s always nice to see work from fellow vintage knitters- we seem to be a bit scarce compared to sewers. And thank you for the Dorset button link- that one could turn out to be a lifesaver in more than a few projects.
Oh!! I LOVE your sweater!!
