Hi Linda,
Love all your fabulous sweaters! Can you confirm for me (or deny!) that this sweater is from the 40s? Hand-knit, soft thick wool. Thanks!

Thanks, Linda, it's definitely wool, I did a burn test just to confirm. Thick and tightly knit. Here's a pic of the inside and a closeup of the collar:

Thanks for your input, Melanie. Yes, the sweater does have puff sleeves. The yarn runs to slightly different shades of yellow with the changing of the skeins.
 
Oops! I'm very sorry for posting the same pattern you already posted, totally an accident! I was just browsing through Ravelry when I saw it. I will definitely read the whole thread before I post.
 
Nice collection! I was browsing Ravelry and found 3 amazing free sweater patterns. If anyone is interested, I can post the links. Ravelry is an amazing database of patterns and yarns as well as groups where you can discuss and share your finished objects.

These are from my personal collection. The "Knit 'n' Purl" was designed by Jacques Fath and the scarab design is totally iconic of the 1920s.

My latest find! I haven't been able to find another example of this particular skier - Linda, have you seen (there is probably one on this thread somewhere! lol) ?

Not perfect but still soooooo cool. I love the continuation of the alps on the sleeves.

I was just wondering if we shouldn't start a Part II to this well loved thread.
The reason I'm thinking this is because there are now 20 pages of information and that is a lot to
go through for any of us are looking back to locate something here. When a new guest
comes along, it's a lot of info to peruse in just one thread.

We could of course open the new thread with the same title and just add PART II and of course
have a link on the first post to Part I.
